I agree with you that importing data is an important point. However, we 
should first create a common data structure (like a PHP object structure 
or, if necessary, nested arrays) that will be the only one direcly 
processed by Graph. The importing is later just a top-up for this and 
can be realized by creating this data structure e.g. from XML. It is a 
good idea to realize this via tie-ins.
