Technically we have something that works, but I'm not really happy with 
it. We're using the built-in object->XML serialization in .NET so that 
is just a reflection of what our internal code looks like rather than 
any sane object serialization format. I think the best way to approach 
this is using LLSD, as there are already functions in the client to 
import/export volume parameters from LLSD. Add in some extra markup for 
textures, flex, light, sculpties, and any prim metadata like 
id/parent/name/description/creator and you should be set.
