Couldn’t figure out how to preserve the tags. AFAICT, Mnemosyne doesn’t support importing them at present.
(Psst, Zach, maybe I should’ve told you this earlier, but I switched over to Anki! It was a little bit painful, since I had to abandon learning info on 600 or so cards, but Anki is just that good that I’m not sorry at all. I encourage you to continue to use what you’re comfortable with and will actually learn with, but it’s worth watching the Anki vids! Among other things, Anki natively supports syncing across computers, and it’s possible to access the decks you’ve synced online via a web browser… Just sayin’.)
Mnemosyne’s XML is strongly suggested, I think. For example, .mem (Python pickle format) will be going away in Mnemosyne 2.0 in favor of an SQLite database.

Treat tags as categories? Unless you really do have cards with multiple tags. Or wait for Mnemosyne 2.0, which loosens the categories into tags.
are the LW sequence decks available for Mnemosyne?
[Edit: Divia posted this one above, while I was composing this comment: http://divia.posterous.com/less-wrong-sequences-as-tab-delimited-text-file ]
Unless Divia has something better, here’s a rough export to Mnemosyne:
LW Sequences .mem Deck: lw-sequences.mem
LW Sequences cards in a tab-delimited file: lw-sequences.txt

I just downloaded Mnemosyne yesterday, so its not too late to test both softwares.
