Support XML content import export out of the box

Out of the box it should be possible to import and export content in an XML format. This would considerably simplify processes like restoring part of a site, migration or reorganization of content.

        well... portal_setup already does that... most of it. I can't find the images, but text based export works unless you have no non-ascii characters ;)
