Comment (by TZ Media):

 Replying to [comment:29 allendav]:
 > @mnelson4 - data portability wasn't the intention for this feature -
 this was solely looking at Right of Access (Article 15).

 I must have missed that. But that explains a lot of misunderstandings
 between those asking "Is this personal data? Do we **need** to export
 this?" vs. those - like me - saying "If it can be associated with a user
 ID or email address, it **must** be exported". And a lot of discussions
 that seemed pointless to me now make sense.

 > I'm not even sure how to bound the data portability problem with respect
 to plugins yet :P Any ideas?

 We already build that during the last few weeks. We have a framework that
 plugins can hook into to add any data they want to the export.

 > Would a shopping cart plugin be expected to output order data in a
 format that other e-commerce platforms could use?

 I'm not aware of widely accepted standard format for order data, so: No,
 it shouldn't, at least for now. And if there was such a format, that's
 also no problem, as explained below. The plugin could already do that
 easily.

 We have build a framework that by all measures is fully capable of
 fulfilling the requirements for data portability, last but not least by
 implementing the ideas to make the report generation hookable to generate
 custom formats (that might be standard formats for certain types of data
 that are required - or just more convenient - for data portability), and
 add these additional files to the data export .zip by another hook. So I
 don't understand why we are limiting this amazing feature to only a small
 portion of its potential.
