Comment (by scribu):

 {{{
 categories()
 tags()
 custom_taxonomies_terms()
 nav_menu_terms()
 }}}

 What's the difference between these 4? Why not have a generic `terms(
 $taxonomy )` method?

 {{{
 serve_xml( $file_name ) – outputs the necessary HTTP headers and then the
 export as XML
 }}}

 I think this should be split out into a utility function or something.
 It's an operation that you do after the actual export.

 {{{
 export_xml_using_writer_class( $writer_class_name, $writer_args ) –
 exports the XML data, but uses a custom writer, not one of the above
 export_using_writer( $writer ) – if we want to use a writer, which isn't
 coupled with the XML generator,
 }}}

 I think `export_using_writer()` should be enough.
