This would boild down to something like "OOo 2.0.5", given the current
release cycles. Hmm. No, I don't think so. That's something I'd love to
do, but there are other items at the moment which are more important.

On the other hand, what do you mean by "import"? :)

HSQLDB, the engine which is by default used under the hood, allows to
link to csv/txt tables as if they were native tables. This feature is
already there, but there's no UI for it. What we might have in the time
frame you mentioned is that we provide an UI for this. This is not
really "import", as it works life on the text file. Also, it'd be
available for HSQLDB only, not for the other types. Depending on your
use case, this might be an advantage or disadvantage.

Ciao
Frank
