[Dx4win] So How about it Paul? QRZ.com XML lookup??

[Dick Flanagan]

In addition to having a rote look-up, also have an option where all 
empty DX4WIN QSL fields can be filled in with QRZ data on an individual 
or group basis.  And have another option to have existing QSL fields 
compared with QRZ data to flag any differences, again on a individual or 
group basis.

This would be similar to having LOTW confirmation data used to 
populate/confirm existing QSL fields (or flag them when they don't match).

A known problem with all of this is that some QRZ data is dependent on 
input from the individual ham.  This problem also exists with LOTW 
confirmations where some people don't know the difference between their 
own IARU and CQ zone numbers, so they enter the wrong number when they 
sign their confirmation certificates.

There would obviously be a lot of garbage data that D4W couldn't be 
expected to identify--let alone correct--but the more QSL functionality 
you can provide, the easier my job is confirm thousands of counties, 
states and DXCC entities.
