Speaking of upstream problems, would it be possible to undo the upstream
formatting of directors and actors and stick in the approprate
CreditsList elements? I'm currently doing this in my importer script,
but it seems silly for each individual user to solve this, rather then
you doing so once. (If you like, I'll give you the perl code I'm using
to do this -- but it sound like you're using C anyway.)
