Well, at least MOF/EMoF is relevant for you and all technologies/framework in the EMP, isn't it?

EMOF is not relevant, EMF is.

You entire Xtext approach is based on MOF, isn't it?

No it's based on EMF.

Note, that there is some conceptual similarity between Ecore and EMOF because Ecore influenced its design (not vice versa).
And while there's a way to serialize EMF models in an EMOF compatible XMI format I never used it nor have I ever seen someone using it.
Why should one, as long as there is no other implementation being able to read it.
