 Hi there,

 There is a bug when I tried to import from an XML files which had been
 generated by WP 2.9.2 to a WP 3.0 (version: 3.0-beta2-14550), which is
 always reproducible as follows:

 After the import, there will be duplicated name, but different slugs. One
 same as the original slug in the WP 2.9.2 site, and the other same as the
 name itself.

 For example, for the category: 游戏知识, two categories are created after
 importing:

 1st
 Name:游戏知识 Slug: knowledge

 2nd
 Name: 游戏知识 Slug: 游戏知识

 The first one is the one I created in the original WP 2.9.2 site, and the
 2nd one is the buggily created one. Unfortunately, all the posts are
 incorrectly filed under the 2nd one.

 The same appies to the tags: duplicated tags are created with exactly same
 slugs as for categories and all the posts are filed under the incorrect
 tags.

 The language for the WP 2.9.2 site: Simplified Chinese
 The lauguage for the WP 3.0-beta site: English

 I have attached the XML file which causes the bug within this thread.
 Hopefully someone will take care of it. Thanks for your time!

 Daniel
