I've watch at it, but it seems to be a different approach to me. Cause, I've had a more complete batch migration in mind, not so much focussed on having a fancy wizard for. Additionally setting up my Eclipse workspace with just XMLRPC-API and wikimodel was way easier ;-) So it was simpler to patch/enhance wikimodel for my tasks. But as I read on page 'RenderingModel' your importer also uses wikimodel. Thus my patches also benefit your project :-) And of course I'm open for sharing work and thoughts.
