I think the problem is we're all just trying out org-mode and working out what we think it's good for and stretching it in new ways. To some people it seems it's a plain organizational outliner. To other people it seems it's a document construction outliner. To many people it looks like it might be a blogging tool. All these different things need different export. Having said that, if I have time to clean up the XOXO output I think that might consolidate some things because it will be simple clean HTML which people can parse and transform in other ways.
