This Tinderbox feature was hinted at on the Scrivener forum (I believe). There seems to be a lot of communication and cooperation between the two developers, so I am hopeful this is indeed in the works.

For me, one of the biggest drawbacks of Tinderbox remains its arcane (to me, anyway) export functionality. I’ve even had a communication with Mark Bernstein (the developer) about it and he assures me it is easy, just a matter of creating some export templates. Still, I can’t quite get my head around it. Fortunately, it is pretty easy to export to plain text and I can usually make do with this. Still, a dedicated Scrivener export would be brilliant and make the two applications a perfect match.
