The support for such an export is available in libqof1.

It is possible for gnotime to copy selected task entities to a second, export, 
QofSession (using qof_entity_copy_*) which libqof1 will automatically export 
using QSF XML. The XML can be transformed using XSL into whatever kind of 
report the user requires - the benefit being that the user only gets the data 
they need in the exported XML. By setting QofSetterFunc handlers in a new 
Task QofObject, the data can also be imported into gnotime and merged into 
the existing project using qof_book_merge_*. This is currently used in 
pilot-qof and in gnucash 1.9.x (svn).

I would recommend this approach but I'm a libqof1 developer, not gnotime 
developer.

At present, gnotime is not making use of the new functionality in libqof1.
