As for updating links in the posts to reference the newly updated DW posts... do you think that's a good thing?
I've been very very wary about changing post contents, and I'm not sure what the best thing to do is in that situation. I can definitely see where people would want it, and I think I can see where people wouldn't. Also, it wouldn't be a "complete" transformation because if you reference other people's posts we might not have those in our system.
But what if we do? If you link to a post of mine, and next week I import, should it go back and update your links to stay internal?

So many questions!
