There is GoZip+EduploneTypes = "IMS Content Package Export" (if this is 
standard enough). Unfortunally your types needing atm a mixin-class to 
support it. In future this will be handled by an independend tool.
EduploneTypes are in fact ATContentTypes with this export-mixin, 3 added 
fields and a diffrent skin.

They reside in http://sf.net/projects/eduplone -> CVS

Its easy to make the default ATContentTypes or your own types 
IMS-export-aware. Also its easy to write own XML-exports.

does that help?
