 Some users have reported problems with the new LiveJournal importer
 stripping images out of their posts while importing.

 Turns out that this is actually because of the force_balance_tags()
 function, which was being used to clean up imported content a bit.
 Removing that function means there is no code-level cleanup during import,
 so it's up to the user to have good HTML.

 Applying this patch removes the function and means that the importer works
 more reliably with WPMU installations in particular.

 I'm commenting it out rather than removing it completely as a reminder to
 people who might want to un-comment it when they import. Alternatively
 feel free to delete.
