I've got a bunch of them that I'd like to rename... related to a naming convention that's no longer working (as well as it once was).
Yes - the RecID (SY_Plugin.RecID) is exported into the XML file. and when we import the first thing we do is try and find a plugin already with the RecID - if we find one, then we read that existing plugin and then we update it from the XML file contents.

No, we ignore the language property when updating a plugin from XML. Why? Because we wanted to avoid the expectation that it would magically perform a code conversion.
