I'm looking at what is needed to move from wordpress.com to a BlogEngine.NET or similar blog. I've seen a tool for replacing export.php so that it will export your wordpress site in BlogML format so it can easily be imported into BlogEngine.NET, however I'd really not want to have to setup php/wordpress just so I can import a back up from wordpress.com and then use the export from my local wordpress to have a BlogML file.
Are there any tools that will convert the wordpress file? Is there a different blog that will natively import the wordpress file?
Edit: For the question about other blog providers, I am open to them as long as they are .NET based, preferably C#.

wordpress.com exports in XML, so that might be easier than using feeds or otherwise grabbing html and parsing it. Navicat supports XML into PHPMyAdmin, which exports SQL.

Are you open to using platforms other than BlogEngine?
