Ok, sorry, I spoke too soon. Yes, it formatted properly but it seems that the "export" parameter only exports the most recent revision and if I add the revision property to ask for more than one, it defaults back to the other format. :-\ So I'm still not able to get the whole edit history of one page in the special:export format. leSigh.
