Subject: [PATCH] Added meta tag import goodness. This for instance allows you
 to preserve all your hard-worked on WP SEO keywords, images, alternative
 images and other yummy-ness. Replaced PubDate with wp:post_date, this is
 better than PubDate since some of the posts you import could be a draft (in
 this case the pubDate is invalid and contains a non-sensical value). Added
 wp:status so we now know whether the post is published, draft or in the
 trash. Added wp:post_type so we differentiate between posts and image or
 other post types
