What did you do?
================
1. Ran the import_mdn.py tool

What happened?
==============
Many, but not all pages reimported

What should have happened?
==========================
All pages should be re-imported

Is there anything else we should know?
======================================
One missing page is Web/Events/start_(SpeechSynthesis) [1], which was noticed because it had an issue that was fixed by manual reimport, via "Reset" button on importer page.

List of MDN URLs not refreshed by tools/import_mdn.py
As part of bug 1216786, I reset all the importer data and re-ran tools/import_mdn.py.  507 pages were not refreshed, and the URLs are listed in the attachment.

There are a couple of patterns. The first is URLs that don't start with /docs:

* https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Apps/Build/Audio_and_video_delivery
* https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Apps/Design/Firefox_OS_building_blocks/Dialog
* https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Apps/app_layout/Mozilla_Brick_ready_made_UI_components

The second is URLs that contain "interesting" characters:

* https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/AudioNode/connect(AudioNode)
* https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/--*
* https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/::-moz-page
* https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@charset

These fail when they are entered into the URL search on the MDN importer page, which is used to detect if a new import is needed.

It is hard to tell if these are bugs that need small fixes, or a more fundamental re-architecting of the import process.
