I confirm that this is not part of our current plans.

Automatic exports may be convenient, but there are also a few drawbacks:

  - Exporting may take some time (and typically far more time than raw 
saving).
    This may be a problem if you use to frequently save your documents.

  - Automatic exports will clobber your directory, which could be annoying
    if you use this option only every now and then.

An alternative solution might be the automatic conversion of
all your TeXmacs documents inside some designated directory,
on demand only, like 'Tools -> Web -> Create web site'.
