Hi Dean,
Since I am currently Mr. MsWord filter, I'll add my 2c here...the other
filter writers will have their own opinions.

It is my priority by far to get as functional an import facility as
possible. However, the architecture and the tools I have used specifically
lend themselves to the writing of an export capability too.
On the other hand, my need for such a capability is limited at present. So
the reality is that the Web site accurately reflects my priorities, at least
for now.

Of course you are right: I think the FAQs merely reflect the reality of
limited time.

Sure thing. And input like your is exactly what is needed to help shape my
future priorities too!
Thanks, Shaheed
