Yes.  The changes in 1.10 are just cosmetic -- making the names
permanent and putting an interface on it.

The Import/Export facility really just provides hooks around some
exposed low-level database support.  I'm quite curious whether someone
in the Zope community sits down for an hour and creates an "import over
the web" facility.

Though it might be wrong for the general case (for security purposes, a
real Zope "import over the web" will need more thought), some users will
find it perfectly acceptible.
