Yes; we still find it amazing that after creating a brand-new
internal format, they could not provide a way to import docs
that used it other than one at a time.  They've had over a 
year to do it.

How?  That would just move them up to the same place Mif2Go is
at already; all correctly formatted, but no bulk import.  This
needs work at tha Atlassian end.
