This is what is going to be in 1.4 (and since it is possible to export 
single documents in 1.3 I'm not going to backport any of this):

The export button on tab_status of a container will take any checked 
checkboxes into account, and will export the entire container when 
nothing is checked.

The behaviour of the export button on tab_status of a document will 
remain unchanged.

The export button on tab_edit is removed. This may seem cruel and 
unusual, but it is very hard to make it behave the same as the button on 
  tab_status, because the checkboxes have another kind of values 
entirely. I'd rather have users spend an extra click occasionally than 
have the same button exhibit two different types of behaviour on two 
different pages. Also I do not believe it will be sorely missed as it is 
a recent introduction (1.3) and that isn't used very widely in 
production sites yet.

Feel free to yell at me, I may yet change my mind, but much beer will 
have to change hands...
