Thanks for the answers. Still, one of them (regarding the user agent 
identification) is conflicted by my experience.

For the OS Report to work correctly, Analog obviously needs to read 
everything in the user agent name from quotation mark to quotation 
mark. However, to me it seems that the OS Report counts anything 
as a robot only when the ROBOTINCLUDE-d string is outside the 
brackets in the user agent name, like this:

"Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html)"

When it is inside the brackets, analog is unaware of it being a robot, 
like here:

"Mozilla/2.0 (compatible; Ask Jeeves/Teoma)"

This robot clearly does identify itself as the one from Teoma, still not 
counted in "Known robots". Same applies e.g to Slurp or INGRID. 
Any way to get around this?
