IMemento interface part of ui, how about making it part of core.resource [message #98988]

The IMemento interface and it's impl XMLMemento are part of
org.eclipse.ui.workbench. I see only references from ui packages to the
interface, so there have been good reasons to put it into ui.
But wouldn't it also make sense to put it into org.eclipse.core.resources
to make it available to other core plugins that don't need other ui stuff
but need to easily write back any data as xml using the mememto mechanism.
Currently they have to implement their own DocumentBuilder stuff.
What do you think?

There is a plan item for 3.0 to make significant changes to the
preference mechanism in core. I suggest you add this idea as a comment
on the plan item bug report:

Currently non-UI components just write XML directly and parse XML using
the SAX APIs in xerces.
