niallkennedy/Movable-Type-WordPress-export — Issue #2: Asset export fails silently due to missing Page Basename

The export seems to fail to dump out assets from our blog. I've narrowed the culprit down to this line:

<$mt:PageBasename separator="-" encode_xml="1"$>

As far as I can tell from the MT docs, assets don't have Page basenames since they aren't page entities unto themselves. If I replace the mt:PageBasename tag with mt:AssetFileName, the export seems to work. (I'm not familiar enough with the WP data model to tell whether this is a reasonable alternative)
