1) I wasn’t aware it was actually that popular.
2) It’s not a great general-purpose format—if I recall correctly, it makes no provision for styled text or embedded graphics.

I agree with the limitations.
By the way, Brainstorm can also export (though not import) OPML. There was a certain fascination of using Brainstorm’s OPML with Grazr but those post have been lost from Brainstorm’s blog. See the link below to get an idea:
