Maybe it can be parsed to extract only joskis. I have been told by stronger players that Kogo, while a useful starting point, needs to be supplemented with newer lines of play. Regarding automatic extraction of joseki from pro games - the one pitfall I see is that you'll only discover the surface of a much deeper tree of moves which don't appear in pro games - how best to respond to non-joseki plays. A move is "joseki" because sound refutations to non-joseki plays exist, but those refutations can be subtle; a characteristic of a "trick play" is that the refutation is difficult for weaker players.
