Comment (by scribu):

 Nikolay, rmccue and I had a nice chat in IRC about this thing.

 Instead of having helper methods like export_to_xml_file(), we could have
 an even simpler interface:

 {{{
 function wp_export( $filters = array(), $additional_args = array() ) {
   $filters_defaults = array(
     'post_type' => 'post',
     'posts_per_page' => -1
     ...
   );

   $additional_args_defaults = array(
     'format' => 'xml',
     'writer' => 'WP_WXR_File_Writer',
     ...
   );

   // instantiate things, etc.
 }
 }}}

 and of course devs can skip wp_export() and instantiate the classes
 themselves.
