If the intended destination of the exported files is rdimport(1), then the 
--xml switch is superfluous. The exported files contain the very same XML 
embedded in the metadata fields, and rdimport(1) will see that and populate the 
metadata in newly created carts accordingly. The --xml switch is primarily 
intended for situations where you need the metadata for some external, 
non-Rivendell system.
