[Dx4win] Prefix Logic

[R.T.Liddy]

It appears to me that an Entity like Willis would have VK9W because
Australia actually issues the Calls for there specifically as VK9Wxx.
So, the Entity would be obvious from the Call.
 
However, some Countries use the same prefix for several ARRL Entities
and there needs to be some way to differentiate them in the database.
An HK0 could be San Andres or Malpelo, so a /M is put after the HK0 to
specifically denote it as Malpelo. Other eaxmples would be FR and JD1
versus PY0Txx and CE0Yxx.
 
IMHO

Looking at the prefix list, What's the reasoning for  some  multi-prefix
countries identified by forward stroked, and others are not?
Example Willis is VK9W, but Malpelo is HK0/M. 
When I search via prefix I don't kn if it wants a / or not..
I kn f1 brings up the list. 
Tnx for your reply
