demo is old .. there are no parenets.  Morten is right.  the api is a
bit fast moving at the moment so best to try and follow trunk.

I can confirm this works on dev:
http://apps.dhis2.org/dev/api/organisationUnits.xml?viewClass=export

though I am not seeing any effect of
"assumeTrue=false&organisationUnits=true" on the metaData url.
Probably in trunk.  I'll test myself later.

Alice I think viewClass=export might solve your problem.  Or is there
something else you are getting at with your question?
