 * Hello,
 * Besides the title and the content, I want to import data from a particular element“
   category” from the Atom entries of a third-party feed.
 * The data is, from elements like this,
    <category label=”my_label_value” my_attribute
   =”my_attribute_value” /> , my_attribute_value
 * To do so I go to Posts & Links > Custom Post Settings > and add a Key and a Value
   like the following:
 * Key:
    my_key
 * Value
    $(category[@label=’my_label_value’]/@my_attribute)
 * Then I press “save changes”, and import new feed elements.
 * Does this make sense?
 * I expect then to get a new field named “my_key” for each imported entry with 
   that my_attribute_value as value, but that does no happen. What am I doing wrong?
 * Thank you !

 * Oh I’ve seen that it works as expected for simpler XPath expressions. Can it 
   be a problem of the plugin not supporting such a complex XPath expression?

 * Be nice if the XPath questions could get some love from the dev. I love this 
   plugin, but this has me stumped as well.
