Exporting data is nice, but what about importing data?

I'd love to be able to import data! The hard thing is mapping the myriad of formats that already exist out there into the customizable templates we support that can widely vary user-to-user. It'd be a great feature (that I'd love to add), but will be quite a bit of work before it's ready to use. So I can prioritize accordingly, were there any formats/programs you were specifically interested in importing from? That'll help me figure out which formats to start with!

I'd like to be able to import additions I make to exported files.
Basically, if I make a template object type with an example entry (character, town, guild, etc) and export it as CSV or XML, I'd like to be able to add additional entries to that file and import it to fill out a universe/planet/town.

Honestly, I'd probably use Excel or Notepad for the data manipulation/addition.
