Yes, I got them - I was just trying to point out that we're not talking
about the same thing:

1. The request I received was:

   As a user, I want to *download* the *original* result files I used when
   creating the report since I want to check the details;

2. Whereas you want:

   As a user, I want to be able to *export* test results as XML once all
   the results are in place etc. for some reason.

>From the first request there's now a FEA request and also a proposal for 
implementation. For that 2nd one there's discussion on this mailing list but 
no request in Bugzilla. 

Both can be done - these are not ruling each other out. You sent a link to
a bug about CSV export, shouldn't be too hard to add XML export as well while
someone is already implementing this. These things are just conceptually 
different even if both are about getting some stuff in XML format from QA
reports. For the first one the requirement is to get the *original* files, 
not some files that have been updated based on some information in the 
database.

I'm sorry I don't get this - the feature request above is not related to
downloading (or exporting) files; it's about adding information to the
report (as a popup, hidden div, whatever) so that users could check the output
of steps of a certain case *without* needing to download any files. So this
would be:

   As a user, I want to quickly be able to check stdout, stderr, return value
   and some other stuff for a single test case without needing to download
   the XML files.
