Tobias,

I've uploaded the attached file  to my bug report.  It is an unquoted, semi-
colon delimited file.  The first row shows the fields; not to be imported.

I don't especially like the parser's handling of the import data.  I want 
"Juan & Lisa" as the "Given_Name".  I noticed that it imports "Dr. Norma" as 
the 'Given_Name", but  and handles "Juan & Lisa"  by showning "& Lisa" as an 
"Additional Name".  "David John" is handled as Given and Additional.

The name field in the entry screen does not even show Given, Family, 
Additional, Honorary Prefix/Suffix.  I don't feel that a parser is a good 
idea in this case.  It also limits what I have been doing with the 'older 
version".

I also noticed (separate bug) that the migration tool brought in 
"Anniversary" and shows in the vcf file a "Kaddressbook" defined field and 
shows up when exporting to a CSV file.  The migration tool also brought in 
the "Blog" field as a defined field, but DOES NOT show up when exporting to 
csv!  Inconsistency tends to drive me nuts.  I want all of the fields shown 
in the vcf file, otherwise I am missing data.
