   Hello Martin!

   AH!  I like *that* explanation. Put *that* in the Helps.  ;)   
      
   I had no idea that oxp could utilize incoming "full" nodelists     
   and update the config that way.  I thought the updates only     
   pertained to diffs if/when they arrived. And otherwise if the     
   diff setting was disabled, I thought that NOTHING would happen     
   with the incoming files - and require manual processing.
