Description
I have been finding some weird bugs in the Endnote RIS export and think that we should move away from promoting RIS as our conversion path. For example, RIS tags will change based on item type. I noticed this when I saw that the "volume" field in book or book section is exported as "CP - ", or place of publication. Nice going!
Endnote's XML support is pretty buggy too, but at least it has the virtue of being consistent. Exporting as XML also doesn't require the user to set an output style.
Please note that Endnote's XML export implementation may vary based on Endnote version.
At some point we may also want to be able to export a Zotero library in an Endnote-readable XML file. Unfortunately, this requires a different XML format – Endnote's import and export XMLs are not compatible!

If we can get test files, I could make this happen pretty easily. But I'm fortunate enough to not have a copy of Endnote to work with.

This would be fantastic. How about if I just put out a call on Twitter? We can have a few files sent to support@…, and I'll forward them to you.

That sounds good. The thing is that now that Scaffold can do import translator testing, this becomes a much less painful proposition. Writing import translators used to be a real pain, since they would litter your library with "Imported July 5, 2011..." collections and such.
