Sorry, sorry, sorry, I should have said "can", or "will" import/export. 
I should have made explicit *here* (and not just in the documents) that 
some Mneson items are only planned.

But good news: XML importation is already realised, via translation to 
Mntext (and then compilation with Tools.Mntext). The translator is not 
in Mneson.Tools yet, it's a program called xml2mntext in a previous 
experimental version... and perhaps not released, I'll check, sorry. And 
I'll try to make a consolidated system release soon.

Exportation is easy for either XML and SQL.

Importation from SQL is easy once the Relational Layer (another planned 
item) is in place.

This is one of the million "to do" items, yes. BTW, the time is near for 
Mneson to move to something like Tigris, and preferably better, to avert 
slipups like the above. Suggestions and help welcome.
