I think the big difference between chart documents and other documents is that they are normally explicitly opened by another filter. I have added a hack to export charts but that is a really ugly hack to allow exporting of charts for debugging copy&paste. This might actually be the reason why there is a filter configuration file for charts.
I know two cases where we use the pure chart filter as real import/export filter. Copy&paste and the persistent representation for embedded objects. Regards, Markus
