I haven't used eprints yet, but intend to. I would definitely appreciate
BibTeX import/export --- and others, latex, mathml,...

A related issue is dealing with mathematical notation in eprint fields.
How do you deal with this now? My ideal would be a system where users
could enter info using tex, latex, pasted-in snippets of mathml, etc, etc,
and could ask for output in these formats too.
