In general, the more XP someone has, the more they've contributed to the site (by adding features, answering questions, posting interesting meditations, considering nodes, etc). So, XP looks like recognition for frequent and valued contributors.

Sorta the other way around, IMHO. The people who make frequent, valued contributions (and get noticed) end up as gods or pmdevelopers or editors, and -- oh my! -- they also have high XP. (Or did you mean consideration in general?)
