True.

Also, maybe an other filter who marks families on List Family View ?

I think, with or without spouse if person is referenced on a family, 
GRAMPS exports the family core. If spouse don't match, then family 
without spouse.

> 2. If we do, should it be missing the spouse? OR replaced with some generic placeholder name?

I think no spouse reference, just status on family !!! Seems not to be 
like privacy issue ...

If it is possible to have just the "real" relation (married, custom or 
unknown) on family without spouse id, then this should be enought.
We will know all on person status in the family without knowing the name 
of the spouse. "Real" because GRAMPS need to verify relation on family. 
If we keep default value for family relation, sometimes family relation 
without known spouse will be noted as "married" ...

> 3. If the spouse matches but the kids don't, what to do with the family? 

Exporting the family

> 4. What if kids match but the spouse does not? 

Exporting the family

> 5. Should we export the source if the only reference comes from the person that is not exported?

Seems there is backlink references on most primary indices.
If family or person are referenced, GRAMPS may export primary indices 
(events, sources, media object references).
