 * Hi there! I recovered from my server confusion and am doing test exports and 
   imports now. The WordPress import tool allows Users to be imported only as necessary
   based on the Posts included in the export.
 * Can WP Import Export Lite do this too? I see that the first dropdown requires
   the admin to select only one WP content type, and inserting the magic tag for
   the username during import does NOT import the Users from the old site. Is it
   possible to migrate only the Users referenced in the Posts export?

 * Okay thanks. This is a feature from the default installer that is very useful(
   adding users based on reference in posts). You should consider adding it to your
   plugin.
