It would be nice if the "grouped" fields, like "Categories Information" or "Product Page Layout" could be expanded so we could chose a subset of those fields during the export process. For example, I only need the six category name and parent fields. Not only would this help match and compare exports with imports, but it would also get around the export "wrap-around" issue that is currently occurring with long category description fields.

Ugh god yes. I've all but given up on trying to use the import/export tool for category information. It's a real shame. On one hand, I can understand why it's difficult to get right, as the category system is a bit complex (products can belong to multiple categories). That being said, category information absolutely seems like something you'd want to have working right for import/export functionality.
It's almost worth just writing a standalone tool to handle this stuff and communicate with the database, because the built in tool leaves much to be desired.
