Description
Trying to create a new project using JSON import from:
http://mapit.mysociety.org/area/65791/covers
the JSON object structure {randUID1: { .. standard object...}, randUID2: { .. standard object...},...., randUIDN: { .. standard object...} }
If I select a block, OpenRefine only imports the record selected, by UID. It would be handy to be able to treat all these elements as elements in a list?

Research direction
Reproduce the JSON import using http://mapit.mysociety.org/area/65791/covers and inspect the import flow that handles an object keyed by UIDs. Done means the importer can treat all top-level values as list elements instead of importing only a selected UID record; verify this with the supplied JSON structure.
