Import and export are very different things. For example, I can convert
WMF to SVG, but the opposite is a truly daunting concept.

The point that Dom made yesterday is: You don't need to import HTML.
Create your webpages in AbiWord, and save them twice:

1. As HTML, so that IE etc. can view them.; and
2. As .abw, so AbiWord can re-import them - *without* any loss of
   formatting.

Simplicity itself.

It's getting them wrong that is living, getting them wrong and wrong and
wrong and then, on careful reconsideration, getting them wrong again.
That's how we know we're alive: we're wrong.
