Comment (by ribbo):

 I've played with this more extensively today (I was the PeterR that
 reported on justdave's blog).

 The import works with both wordpress 2.3.1 and 2.5.1 but the major problem
 I had was if there was a single quote (') in a post's title (Like Peter's
 new blog) it would screw up as the import script wasn't escaping them so
 you end up losing the post title (or part of it).

 Also the import script doesn't handle single quotes well in the categories
 either (it actually leaves the escape chars in so "Peter's travel" became
 "Peter\'s travel". This one is a whole lot easier to fix though as you
 could just rename it after import.

 I suspect these would be easily fixed by either a function that's used by
 other imports or copying the equivalent bit over from another import
 script.
