I do not think I asked for any special place in any line, I asked if
there was something already in the line. 

But that aside - the more I consider the lot - and the more I consider
the difficulties others will have in their respective legislations
going the same or similar ways - can I reformulate my request:

If the reports, all table shaped reports, could have the option of
being exported in some XML and in CSV format further to the essentially
presentational layouts we have now (PDF and HTML) I think there would
be ample place then for people in my situation - whereever they are -
who need to transform the reports into something useful for tax of
whatever to do so easily. 

Right now we use the transaction report and a couple of other reports,
copy and paste that into LibreOffice Calc and send the spreadsheet as
excel file to our accountant. We do that both for VAT and the annual
tax return. 

Both is tedious and leaves ample room for improvements. 

A decade back or so there were some gnumeric transformations which we
used, but these seem to have ceased working. 

I would gladly be involved and contribute where I can.
