I know the HL profiles are themselves stored as XML (albeit with unuseable index/id numbers, etc.) but it would be really handy if there was an "export to XML" feature that would output to XML in a more self-describing and free-standing format (i.e. instead of Class="4" Class="Fighter"). That way we could post-process the data with any XML-aware tool or programming language...

Self-describing export to XML feature?

As Mathias says, the statblock already gives you some of that information. We definitely want to do a more "free-standing" XML format like you describe, because it will open up a lot of cool things you can do with the output it generates.
Unfortunately, we need to figure out an easy way to do that for every game system we support, AND for authors to create their own XML output formats, so it's not an easy feature to add. But we're working on the problem.
