I think that this functionality should remain in an external file
conversion tool (like dolfin-convert). The more formats supported in
DOLFIN, the more maintenance, and it takes care to make file reading
work in parallel.

Title:
  Feature request: Output to other mesh formats than Dolfin XML

Status in DOLFIN:
  New

Bug description:
  Dolfin can only output meshes in the Dolfin XML format.

  However, dolfin-convert currently is only able to convert in one direction: *to* the Dolfin XML format, but not from it. 
  This means that it is not possible at present to export generated meshes such that they can be used by other tools. 

  The feature request is for either adding one or more "external"
  formats for writing Mesh-classes from Dolfin, or for dolfin-convert to
  provide conversion from Dolfin XML to one or more other formats.
