Ron,

Overall this is a great start, here are some comments:

I think this is only true if the empty system does not support UUIDs, 
otherwise it needs to create at least one top level UUID to reflect the 
importation. This would be identical to the case of having an empty 
system and adding INDI(s) to it.

Nice job.
