As a matter of fact, I did.  It wouldn't have been much of a test, otherwise, 
would it?  It took a while to find a way to search on DOI in the web interface, 
but I'm more familiar with Compendex than WoS.

I can't say whether it's malicious, but the Thomson documentation that I have 
for their service is from 2005, when DOI wasn't nearly as ubiquitous as it is 
today.  The help page we link to in the BD manual is

http://images.webofknowledge.com/WOK46/help/WOS/h_advanced_examples.html

which doesn't mention the DO key for DOI, so they may have only started 
indexing it recently.
