1/ Not a big deal, as your log will be re-scored by the contest 
committee in all cases.

2/ To be picky, WT considers it as an unknown multiplier and thus, does 
not credit it as an island. If you entered "XXX" in the island field, it 
will be accepted (again, we don't want too strict validity checks which 
sometimes turn to be a nuisance rather than a help), but non-island QSO 
points (3) will be credited.

This policy is applied for several supported contests in WT. We do not 
intend to modify it for these very marginal cases and risk side effects.
