None of the many I tried exported (or in some cases, found) it,
including:

        Operator
        Tails
        Tails export    (had "duration" in exported code, but with no
                        value)
        AUM Parser

On further testing, X2V (both when used directly, and when used via
Operator) finds and exports it.

Optimus' XML facility is currently giving an error.

Why not - or, perhaps more importantly, why is it in the spec?
