Sorry, after looking at the blueprint as well I realise that Jason is
talking about exporting data values for two data elements, and not just
their definitions.

That sounds like a useful feature to me.

A quick workaorind for now would be to just filter on the import side in
import preview where you can easily remove individual data elements (and
their data), or create a new fake data set...
