I've created new plug-in for HandySaw DS - "Final Cut XML.js". You may get it in downloads section.
The plug-in creates FinalCut XML file that describes sequence with input file splitted on clips by scenes. It also contains scene comments and markers.
Many editing systems now supports Final Cut XML format importing so I guess it may be useful.
