The "phantom conflicts" are bugs in the format plugins. The converters of 
those plugin don't convert the data correctly. The conflict got risen because 
of:

|     <DateStarted>
|       <Content>20070110</Content>
|       <Value>DATE</Value>
|     </DateStarted>

|     </DateStarted>

In 0.22 we tried to workaround this with different hacks, without success. I 
hope with 0.40 we get rid of those timestamp issues with declaring a strict 
format, which avoids this kind of ambiguity.

Please, bear with us for a while until 0.40 is out...
