New description:

 Provide a function to dump a database to a human-readable format for
 archival and recovery purposes.  It should be something for which it is
 easy to write a parser to move the data into another system.  Probably XML
 with id's to avoid nesting aggregate objects.


 It's annoying, but not very hard to do.  Leverage s-xml?

Comment:

 I think this is important for a production release.
