Okay @John, we overhauled the validation used when importing these data --- as they say in the biz, "third time's a charm!" (well, maybe "they" don't say that, but we will today). Check out the [latest release of QIIME 2 (2017.9)](https://forum.qiime2.org/t/qiime-2-2017-9-release-is-now-live/1160/1) to learn more! Thanks! 🎉
