The current way in which wallets are stored is a direct serialisation of the wallet class.
This causes a couple of problems:
the serialisation is quite brittle, small changes make the wallet unreadable
because of the above I (Jim) have basically frozen the bitcoinj code by including it into MultiBit. This will cause problems as it is difficult to keep up to date with bitcoinj and contribute patches back.
the serialisation is not readable by humans
In preparation of something better, I have put a wallet version number in the [info files](wiki/Wallet info files). This gives a hook to introducing a new wallet format whilst still supporting the old.
