I know Pascal F5LEN, who is also working on an interface software, added 
a checkbox to send only your raw score (no breakdown). This way, your 
competitors can't guess which bands you are working.

There were endless discussions on this topic on the XML4Results mailing 
list.

For now, no authetication scheme has been implemented. That may change 
in the future, especially if the system is abused.

On the other hand, some users asked to allow manual score entering 
(mainly by the users of older loggers). IMHO, this is an open door for 
"vandalism" ;-)

Anyway, this is a very first experience. Gerry and his helpers did a 
great job in a very short time.
