You *can* export both packet summary and packet dissection when
exporting to plain text (pr PostScript).

If you select PSML/PDML you will require 2 different files.

Maybe we want to add an "Export as XML..." option where the widget
selects the base name of the export file, and the widget takes care of
creating the required PDML (.pdml) and PSML (.PSML) files. This
implies that we merge the current PDML and PSML export widgets and
provide a PDML/PSML check box, or a PDML/PSML/Both radio button group
for the new XML output widget?

Not really, as it's in the "Export" section...
