Is it possible (or will be) to redo an import?
I just imported my lj to see how it would work (as described on the faq), and of course since it was from a basic account all my icons are wrong. Also I'm probably not going to bother double posting, but would like the option to use this account (or possibly a new one I set up specifically as a backup) to mirror my lj periodically.
So, is it possible to redo an import? If so will it fix all the broken icons?
The icons thing doesn't bother me that much, people can always look up the original lj article if it's very confusing, but if you can't (and won't be able to) repeatedly update an import that will change the way I decide to divide myself between the two journalling services.
Also, if I get a paid account, do all my icons right, import my lj, and then switch to an unpaid account, will all the extra icons vanish?
(I hope this is clear, I am feeling pretty crappy today)

If you get a paid account and then switch to an unpaid account, the icons become "inactive" but are still there, so if you switch back to paid later, you can still use them.
I'm not sure about your other questions so will leave that to someone else.

Icons - if you import all your icons now and then revert to unpaid at open beta (or afterwards), I'm pretty sure it'll drop you down to the unpaid icon limit. The unused icons will be there on the server if you renew your account, at least in the short term. I think that's the same as LJ, really.

* new entries
* new comments (both to new entries and to old entries)
It doesn't pick up any edits you've made to the entries itself, including userpic changes, tag changes, or text changes. (We're pondering a sensible way to do that.)

What about if you get new (and different) comments to both versions of a post? (A question which would never have occured to me until reading your reply :))
