I think this should be possible, as XML is essentially text. However it would be non-trivial to generate such a template, the template editor would not be able to handle it I think. > Or is it possible to change BibDesk so that the formats available > through File-->Export are available to AppleScript? They are, as I said before. The "save" command does exactly the same as File > Export when you pass it a file and a file type.

It makes absolutely no sense, as the creator code is an identifier for an app, not for what role an app plays. Apart from that the biggest problem: someone has to spend time on it...
