I had a quick look at Derek's current state of XML import plug-in which tries to detect column types based on values.
I guess XML was chosen here mostly for easy parsing (when compared to CSV or Excel), just to allow working on detection code.
I think that the original problem about this, is that phpMyAdmin's XML export does not have the option of exporting structure, data or both.
I'm not sure how people are currently importing phpMyAdmin's XML output but I believe we could change the export format to handle our importing needs.
Yes we can add it. However XML import is just side product of better general import for other formats, where we will never have the structure of data (CSV, Excel, ODS,...).
