What is the status and function of the Debug UI options for "Export Menus to XML", "Edit UI", "Load from XML", and "Save to XML"?

These are in development and for development purposes only and are not currently userful or complete.

In order:

"Export Menus to XML" : Saves the layout of the top menus ('File' etc) to an xml file.
"Edit UI" : Currently extremely limited, lets you resize buttons and text fields. These can't be saved and are not warrented to function correctly after modification. The only way I know to undo a change is to restart SL.
"Load from XML" : Load a window/widget from an XML file. This doesn't work, there is no way to 'connect' any created windows to any functions and it may crash your client. Highly recommended not to be used.
"Save to XML" : Saves the layout of the front most window as an XML file. This is not complete.

Thanks for asking Sue. The question crossed my mind as well.

And thank you for answering Kelly! Guess this'll have to do with potential custom UI features? Should be cool.
