Export and import for preferences etc. as XML file

When looking through the opera:config under Install I found something named Preference URL that points to an URL on the Opera servers. Pure curiosity made me looking into that file and I saw something like
<preferences clean_all="1">
<host name="pncbank.com">
<section name="User Agent">
<pref name="Spoof UserAgent ID" value="4"/>
</section>
</host>

The section name and pref name seem to indicate, that it could be possible to import other settings too and that the only thing that's missing is a UI or API for that.

Suggestion:
Option to export all opera:config settings to a local XML file like that and a re-import option.
