+1  Q: 

is there a way to import/export a pipes source in text/xml format?

I'd like to save a copy of some of my pipes offline before I go to edit them, and possibly reload them from an external source again in future.

Can this be done?

+1  A: 

Yes. Open a Firebug console in the pipe edit page and type dump()

It will open another window with a JSON dump of the pipe.

It's up to you to interpret this or reload the pipe from this JSON :-)

thanks - how do I reload from this JSON?

don't know... use firebug to find out, that's how I found out about dump()... then post it here!

ok so I got the json and in firefox it renders the json but not quite the way expected - form elements of each module also seem to be rendered.I'll accept this as the answer anyway seeing as it was a pretty inventive way of almost hacking out the one I wanted :)
