 * 1) Actually, I was thinking of just copying the revisions as-is and then having a final revision where everything just "magically" appears. Though, now that I think about it, I am not sure whether or not that will cause issues with the chain of revision ids; having multiple chains for a single page.
 * 2) Fair point about deleted revisions. However, I am not sure if any of the other past admins might have used it or not. I guess I could always just screen the content before deciding whether or not to migrate it.
 * 3) Interesting. So it seems some parts of threaded discussion features are dependent on some sort of database and others are not. Thanks for putting together the code but I am honestly not quite that eager to find out. It is more of just a casual curiosity. Either way, knowing the answer is probably of little significance and even more so after they are removed. I still appreciate the detailed descriptions though. Thanks.
 * 4) I am not sure I quite follow you about it being easier to have them all in one XML tree. I am talking about how to retrieve the content of the revisions in the first place. I know you can get all revisions using Special:Export. However, you need to list each page. api.php apparently lets you get either the latest revisions of multiple pages or all revisions of a single page (but not all revisions of multiple pages) in a single request. Oddly, it looks like you can get all revisions of multiple deleted pages.
