Comment (by nbachiyski):

 Last, but not least, some implementation :-)

 Notes:
  * It's not 100% complete, some of the post XML generation and data
 retrieval is missing. It's tedious and I left it for later :-)
  * I'm not at all happy with the XML generator. The here-doc approach
 didn't turn out very good. I have two ideas for it: to use output
 buffering and native PHP templates or to use/build a generic XML
 generator.
  * I had to use exceptions in a couple of places. I know they are not the
 WordPress thing, but otherwise they are practically unavoidable. For
 example, if the writer issues a error and I need to catch it in the export
 class, I would need to have probably a hundred {{{if ( is_wp_error()}}}
 checks on every single call for virtually anything.
  * I haven't looked into having minimal export when splitting, so I am
 just repeating everything before the posts in each export file.
  * It'd be nice to have a {{{_gmt}}} time filter.
  * In addittion to the patches, you can follow the development here:
