What is the format that Transit currently uses for export-and-import round-tripping? Is it a format that you can't handle in your other tools?

Transit can read XLIFF from various sources. But it doesn't export XLIFF itself. Other tools have to deal with Transit's interpretation of XML. Every translation project consists of 2 XML files, that – although they are segmented synchronously – have to be aligned first by the other CAT tool.
Life would just be so much easier (in this regard, at least) when Transit would write XLIFF too.
