I'm not convinced. The ASCII representation looks human readable to me, and the associated .proto definitions will make it easy to parse in any language you want. Wire format doesn't sound relevant to the plaintext representation (or am I wrong?).
I've never tried it - and I don't plan to any time soon - but it doesn't sound like a terrible idea. At least it's typed and you get a parser for free.
