It relates to the last user audit record that changed that row.  So if you 
want to know why a row exists (or what the last thing that touched it was), 
you can dereference the contextId in the user audit table.

Well, if it were easy, I might say yes.  But I didn't want to mess with the 
default Xstream serialization.  Plus, I also didn't want people to rely on 
this either i.e. start using it for something, since the xml export isn't for 
provisioning, right?  :)

Anyways, here is the final version of the export with comments turned on.  
That is, unless someone has comments on my comments.
