What would it take to implement that? Copy/paste from Xara source, or write loader from scratch?
That's relatively simple. In the Xara source, they have a separate utility for converting xar files to svg and back. So all is needed is to pull that utility from their source tree and make it compilable on its own. Then it can be included as an optional part into Inkscape's tree and install with Inkscape, and then it will be a matter of writing two simple scripts for importing/exporting xar files from within Inkscape.
That sounds so cool! =)
