For us (and we do a lot of Typepad to Wordpress moves) we found the best way to do it is to grab the actual Typepad URLs as fixed fields and import them with the posts themselves (sometimes you change the URL in Typepad as well and as Stephane pointed out, SixApart did bounce the syntax around). To do that, you need to use upgrade to pro and use custom templates for the export. Downloadable templates in our <a href="http://foliovision.com/2008/11/17/typepad-to-wordpress/" rel="nofollow">Typepad to Wordpress guide</a>. The sad thing is SixApart deliberately cripples Typepad export as I found when I interviewed <a href="http://foliovision.com/2009/05/12/typepad-export-options/" rel="nofollow">Anil Dash</a>.

One thing though...Prior to June 2007, Typepad was using "underscore" as a word delimiter. That has been changed to "-", but all posts prior to June 2007 will still have "_"... Any thoughts on how this can be solved? Some sort of find and replace? Nice find David!
