This is meant to be an export/import type of thing. So you won't be able to "open" something in ArcMap and start manipulating it live using the ArcMap/ArcCatalog tools. The other approach I am proposing would be OGR as a seamless datasource that integrates with ArcGIS at the data access layer level. It would be transparent to the other tools.
