RIS Export, Editor tags
I routinely export from Zotero to RIS and import into Academic Blogger's Toolkit (ABT, for Wordpress). There's some disconnect when editors get exported in books and bookSections. Zotero exports as A2 or A3. According to the ABT developer, those tags are poorly defined or used differently in various places. ABT does recognize the ED tag in those reference types, which certainly seems to make sense.
I found I could edit the RIS translator, RIS.js, to get editors exported as 'ED' in book and bookSection types. This works great and I would be happy to submit it as a pull request, but I don't know if it would foul up something else, so thought I should just ask here first.

adamsmithThanks for asking -- we actually wouldn't take that pull request. While ED makes intuitive sense, it is not part of the official RIS specification (we have a copy here: https://github.com/aurimasv/translators/wiki/RIS-Tag-Map-(narrow) ), which Zotero's RIS export follows.
