 If you're exporting just one post type (from Tools -> Export), the
 resulting WXR file still includes all authors from the posts table,
 regardless if they are the author of a post of the post type being
 exported. This can be particularly noticable for Pages (which are often
 only authored by a small number of different users on the site) and for
 custom post types.

 This means when you subsequently import the file you'll be asked to map a
 complete list of all authors from the exported site, even if they have no
 posts in the WXR file being imported.
