  I desire to export and import blogroll links.
  I see there’s an export opportunity via a file (appropriately revised)
  http://yourblogtitle.wordpress.com/wp-links-opml.php

  How does one import this data into a separate blog?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Your export links to your deskktop and rhen import them into your blog. You can import links into your WordPress.com blogroll by clicking “Import” on the Tools menu. Please see here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/blogroll/import-export-links/

  Hmm.
  How do I tell the administrators of WordPress that the present menus are inadequate?

  On using the import item, one is met with this information, upon which the links feature is not included as an opportunity to import:

  “Import posts, pages, comments, custom fields, categories, and tags from a WordPress export file.”

  Adendum:
  When (successfully) importing (thank you TimeThief) the blogroll / links failed to have the categories match up, even though the export and import blog had the same categories, and the source blogroll php file indicates categories correctly.
