Comment:

 Thanks for pinging me!

 I'm really not familiar with import/export stuff, so I would have to leave
 the decision for others to make here. Unfortunately there's no maintainer
 for the export component, so it doesn't get the love it deserves. I hope
 somebody stands up :)

 In my opinion a general `wxr_export_item_extra_fields` action would be
 actually quite big as there are no actions currently inside the XML
 (except for `rss2_head`). I worry about people not printing valid XML in
 there, leading to all sorts of troubles.

 For example, `echo "<testitempost id='" . $post->ID . "' />";` in your
 example is lacking some escaping of the post ID.
