 When an xml import file contain user names with characters other than
 [a-z][A-Z], importer still asks if you'd like to import the author.

 Problem: Usernames cannot have these characters in them.
 The author is not imported, and all posts are mapped to the default user
 (admin ?)

 Possible solutions

 1. Do not display the "Import Author" line for those usernames

 2. Display error/warning that the user wasn't imported and that posts were
 mapped to user "XXX"
