This was probably meant to come under the "Creating domains from SXP
format configuration files" anti-feature on that page.  Modern
versions of xl output JSON from xl list -l (but it's not very
complete).  It would probably be a good idea to update that line of
the wiki page to say something like, "Creating domains from or listing
domain information out to SXP format".
