The problem with that approach is that:
1) You have to modify the file you want to export! I'm thinking about some
command-line argument like --xml.
2) You don't have any layout information available. That's like exporting from
ODT to Word via pure text...
And it's simply not possible to later include the layout. You are stuck with
the pure musical information.
Cheers,
Reinhold
