   This is more of a perfectionist thing.  Ideally, the export should 
indeed drop those.  But they are harmless if present.

   All we have is the code.

   The code doesn't write such a thing these days:

midiDevice << "        <keymapping "
            << "name=\"" << encode(kit->getName()) << "\">\n";

   It's just a "name" attribute.  Are you looking at older files, or are 
you seeing this in new files that you export?  Can you post or point to 
an example in the library?

   On the read side, the only code for handling a "channel" attribute is 
for the instrument and audioinput tags.
