Other import/export scripts are not the standard. This is why most of the
importers/exporters have the same code written twice (in both the importer
and exporter), so when Blender or the file format changes, the same code
have to be edited in both files. If you take a look at my project website
you'll see the difference. I'll stick to the current structure because it
worked out very well.

Thanks for your opinion, but the logo will not be removed. Also, the
script ís a product itself.

If you would like to give some valuable feedback, I invite you to use the
bugtracker at my project website, instead of this mailing list, so the
feedback is more structured. Thanks alot!
