Ok, these are use cases where could be useful export-import of tags.
For all other cases imo the current implementation works fine and xmp 
files are enough.

I will look for a script to perform this task accesing DB or using LUA...

About cooperation between darktable and other software:
I think using same tags in xmp (where possible) is a good practice.
But talking about proprietary software (adobe or other) is not simple to 
know how they works and imo should not be a darktable priority.

About other free software may be things are more simple, but there are a 
lot of software so is not simple to guarantee a full compatibility (may 
be a lack of standardization).
In this cases may be a better approach is to create external tools or 
scripts to migrate collections or to sync informations.
