 WordPress Trunk r16120 (3.1-alpha) includes the author information in the
 export WXR v1.1 file. On wordpress-importer trunk r306039, the information
 is used to present the mapping information.

 It looks like
 Import author <display name> or map to existing user [Dropdown menu of
 <display name>].

 In a multi-author site it's not unusual for multiple contributors to have
 the same display name, or for authors that are no longer involved to have
 a shared display name.

 Also, at the time the import is done during a site migration, it's not
 usual for the display names not to be set up yet, or for a different
 display name to be used.

 I think the preferred format would be something like:

 Import author <display name> (<username) or map to existing user [
 Dropdown menu of <display name> (<username>)]

 ==== Environment ====
