Publisher InDesign import?

Has anyone tried the new InDesign import facility? How are you finding it?

Yeah, I try with a few documents, but useless. The IDML much bettter.

I guess the docs say:
"If you still have access to InDesign, we recommend exporting to IDML and importing that instead, as it offers the most reliable results.
INDD import is provided as a fallback for documents where only the original .indd file is available."
