   Hi mark!   
      
   My bad. I erroneously referred to your "daily" solution as diffs.   
      
   I rather like the idea of just implementing a daily full nodelist.  But   
   it is rather cool to witness a program to chug away and construct an   
   update locally from the diffs.  ;)   
      
   Sadly (or maybe to the benefit of oxp), in my case, I have uncovered   
   something that should be fixed.   
      
   From a user POV, a daily updated nodelist is probably overkill. A "full   
   daily" makes sense for a sysop who relies heavily on contacting other   
   systems every day. As an ex-sysop I like the notion of a nearly   
   real-time updated nodelist.  But I would imagine that users (for which   
   something like oxp was designed for) may not be online every day, and/or   
   don't really need to contact other systems very much.   
      
   As for oxp actually processing a full daily updated list automatically,   
   I don't understand why that can't be so.  Is oxp hardcoded to expect the   
   full nodelist to be exactly 7 days from a previous one before it   
   overrides the old one?  If so, THEN a full daily wouldn't work, I guess.
