Ok, things are still subtly different from what anyone up til now has 
said. Which is a very good indication that the current UI is indeed 
confusing:

Kit is right when he says one should be able export single documents, 
and that *is* indeed still the case, when you go to the publish tab of 
an individual document.

What I think Marc was looking at is either the contents or the publish 
tab of a folder/publication, where there are import/export buttons which 
completely ignore any checkboxes the user might have selected. This is 
indeed confusing I think. I am now trying to see whether I can easily 
change that behaviour.
