wp2b: Comments are truncated and incomplete

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use wp2b on a blog (or portion fo a blog) with comments
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
All the comments imported entirely. Instead mine are incomplete (at first
sight comments with embedded links are missing)and all are truncated after
the first line or so)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
the python 25, downloaded around of the 15may2009. Vista business

My XML is validated by the W3C walidator. I suspect though that it is not
entirely as per WP "rules", I exported it from an exotic blog platform and
converted it to WP via anotehr script. I provide both in an out for your
information...

Please provide any additional information below.

actually it is the last lane which is kept, not the first one.
I bet it is the <rb/> addition "module" into the translatecomment section which 
does
something unexpected. I am a total beginner with Python and to OOP generally so 
it is
a bit hard for me to make sense of it.
That may be due to the fact that some "<br/>" are actually written as "<br />" 
or
"<br/ >" in my input file?

Just wanted to ping you on this issue.

Are you still seeing this behavior?  Were you able to fix it?  Have you given 
up on
it entirely?

Thanks.

Hi Ilueck.

As most users I guess, I used wp2b only once to move a blog from one platform 
to the
other...so I can;t really say if I am "still" seeing it ;-)
I fiddles around of it by deleting some spaces, slashes and brackets in the 
comments
using regular expressions in the xml. I can't remember the details 
unfortunately. THX
for catching up!
