[Dx4win] Updates - My LoTW Opinion and a Question

Relative to LoTW improvements: One of the great features of DX4Win is it's
ability to handle multiple logs, whether they are DXpeditions, grid
expeditions or just a club call. Using the Groups and Selections choices,
they can be combined or separated easily. LoTW requires that some of these
logs be signed (by TQSL) individually (for example, an operation from a
different grid square). I believe that any attempt to reduce the number of
"clicks" to shorten the LoTW upload process will degrade this feature.
Incorporation of additional information from LoTW in the download process
is a great idea, although I think LoTW is not a mature system and waiting
until it settles out has some merit (the recent upgrades to TQSL are an
example). I can handle a couple extra "clicks" for a while longer.
My question: Can someone explain the XML interface to QRZ.com? Is this is
an automated download of address or similar information? In my experience,
much of the information in QRZ.com is poorly formatted and occasionally
just plain wrong. If you only work USA stations, it is pretty consistent,
but not so for DX stations. Help me out....
Thanks, 73 and HNY to everyone.
