I believe the purpose of SKOS is first and foremost to enable publishing a simple KOS on the Web, motivated especially by the desire to serve the Semantic Web. If you want a format for exchanging thesauri, what about the DD8723-5 format (aka BS8723 format) which you can see at http://schemas.bs8723.org/ ? Its data model is not so very different from that of SKOS.
