Yes, I have tried this.

It preserves bold and italic text, headings, tables, and possibly other 
stuff I haven't tried.

It doesn't preserve stuff that can be declared in a MediaWiki document 
but only by using HTML, not MediaWiki markup - for example, coloured or 
underlined text.

It doesn't appear to be able to import MediaWiki documents. I'm not sure 
how it would handle things like templates anyway.
