You can already export to SVG, which is a widely enough supported graphics format that there are quite a few standalone tools to perform various transformations on it. In fact, the .vex file format is a just very thin wrapper around SVG content to store a bit of extra metadata (such as the LaTeX for equation objects). Perhaps I misunderstand your question though. Are you envisioning an export format with more semantic information about the diagram, rather than just a simple declarative description, as is present with SVG or Postscript?

That's great to hear; SVG should be more than sufficient. I only have a Mac so I can't play with the program itself. I was going off the visual of the export of pdf/png. I see now that it says SVG in the body text. I totally missed that the first time. The heading of "export to pdf" along with the graphic that showed PDF and PNG support in the drop down was what filtered into my head. Now I just need to wait until it comes to the Mac. Looking forward to it.
