I've created my first standalone import using XPath queries on an HTML page. I'm no longer getting any error messages, but on clicking Import, I'm getting no data.

Is it possible to have Import provide some feedback. For example, whether the URL was found, whether the page was found correctly. And then the results of each query.

Perhaps a Preview button could do this, so that data can be seen before committing?

There's no good way to add a preview button to the standalone feed. If the url didn't download Feeds should tell you itself. Hooking into the preview button of a feed node maybe something. There's always validating the form. What's the status on this, it's been a while.

As an update to this, in the dev branch, there is now debugging and error reporting controls. You can have the output from any of the queries be displayed after import. It should help.
