I'm wondering if we should just write a script that will convert
a "File -> Export Accounts" to an XEA file?

Also, you should make sure that the gnucash XEA parser will properly
deal with namespaces.  I had to specifically add code (in 1.8.[late])
to get gnucash to read data files with namespace declarations!
