the main thing that implementing and registering an ExportFilter gives 
you is that the user can select it in the File->Save dialog.

if you don't need that, then i guess it should be sufficient to just 
iterate over the document with the UNO API and serialize that however 
you need, and put whatever UI suits you on top of that.
