Thanks for the feedback. Now I understand why the CLI cannot be implemented with dconf as it is today.
Still, the part about archiving all backup data into one file can still be implemented. This is also the most important of the two requests. Again, it allows one to easily copy all personal preferences to a different machine, though one has to use the GUI to apply it. Another important option is that it becomes easier to keep a copy of one's personal preferences in, say, subversion when they're stored in a single file instead of the current more messy directory trees.
