Actually someone on IRC channel wrote a script (perl?) to do just that...

The script i mentioned removes the player file after downloading. Thus 
the extra information is non revelant, but the currently logged sure is :-)
We could also imagine removing some things (forces, diseases) before 
sending to the client.
On the other hand, downloading serves basically one purpose: use on 
another server, meaning uploading the file (or copying it if local 
server). In both cases the player does send/copy the file, so s/he can 
modify it any way s/he wants.... adding items, changing ones, and such.
