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.
