2. Atom feeds as used by Google.
Feel free to take a shot at it :-)
Do you mean the 0.3 format -

AFAIK data exports are all general purpose, ie they represent the data, and
evenually their schema, as precise as possible without any knowledge of the
contents. Atoms are specific and need understanding of the contents. Hence
Reiniers remarks about mapping fields, etc. I understand the interest one
can have being able to export this format but, IMHO, that doesn't belong in
a data export library. Nice try though :-)
Data is just data to me, however it is represented :-)
For me, atom feeds are just an 'extra' simple XML mapping:
FieldName -> NodePath
Possibly with a grouping concept.
Still, I will need the Atom export, so eventually it will be made.
In fact, Inoussa Ouedraogo (hope I spelled that correct) made a complete SDO
implementation in FPC which should be powerful enough to able to handle this.
