 The WXR output is not valid XML.  Using minidom in Python (which uses
 Expat) to read the file can produce an error like this:

     xml.parsers.expat.!ExpatError: unbound prefix: line 90, column 0

 Looking at the line in question, we see something like this:

     <excerpt:encoded><![CDATA[]]></excerpt:encoded>

 The excerpt namespace is not defined.  We need to add something like this
 to the rss attributes near the top of the file:

     xmlns:excerpt="http://wordpress.org/excerpt"

 or some similar  URL.
