Comment (by rcain):

 thought it might be helpful to suggest a very simple solution to this:

 can we not have an 'export attachments only' option (alongside 'export
 posts only', etc)?

 i've just implemented similar in the old advanced-export-forwp-wpmu plugin
 here : http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-advanced-export-for-wp-
 wpmu-how-to-export-attachments-only - which i believe is pretty similar
 code.

 since big exports generally have to be done in smaller batches anyway,
 exporting attachments separately seems logical.

 on the flip-side, there still appear to be some issues with the wordpress-
 importer plugin (eg: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-
 importer-not-importing-any-images-at-all), but this would seem a practical
 step in the right direction.
