I've made an importer for characters from dnd4e (character builder) files:
http://soxbox.no-ip.org/obsidian/
Interface is very rudimentary, but it works. Sample import was to here:
http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/the-shining-south/characters/jonn-kalash
All the data on that character was read from the dnd4e file.
The dnd4e files exported from the online builder have recently been updated with a whole bunch of extra useful data for rendering a character sheet, so I'll probably be putting together a dynamic sheet template for displaying characters in a style more similar to the sheets you can print from the builder.

But if I was was going to make a change to your sheet, I'd be wanting to be able to add compendium links to powers and feats, which I'm guessing from my glances over the DST will involve a fair bit of javascript jiggery-pokery.
Example: "http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/sotfa/characters/kadon":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/sotfa/characters/kadon
Thanks so much for this, it saves hours of input.
Your campaign will list all the current PC's with a couple of buttons behind them. First one is 'Choose File' where you simply have to browse your directory for the Character Builder to find the desirable dnd4e file. Select it and press ok. Then simply press the Submit button to have the app convert the data from the file into your campaign.
Note that the address cannot be edited by hand - this is exclusively for the use of the importer, and this change will be invisible to anyone who's not using it - and that links are deactivated while editing a character, so that players can edit things without issues.
