Maybe (it could be supported), but go read RFC6030, from it:
This document defines a standardized XML-based key container, called
Portable Symmetric Key Container (PSKC), for transporting symmetric
keys and key-related metadata. The document also specifies the
information elements that are required when the symmetric key is
utilized for specific purposes, such as the initial counter in the
HMAC-Based One-Time Password (HOTP) [HOTP] algorithm. It also
creates an IANA registry for algorithm profiles where algorithms,
their metadata and PSKC transmission profile can be recorded for a
centralized, standardized reference.
so, basically, it's an ASCII file with some <>-based decoration of the
key itself.
