I'm not convinced that just replacing account names will be enough to share one's file, but why not, it's easy. I'll try to think of a way to randomize some numbers safely. Another idea I have been thinking about recently is "fuzzing": automatically generating a massive input file with all kinds of possible combinations to see where the system falls on its face or bring up bugs I may not have tested or. This is pretty common practice in protocol testing. BTW, there is no conversion script yet, but it's one of the first things I want to do after completing the docs. (It's probably just a few hours of work in total to be honest and it'll be fun to play with other systems using my big corpus of data. The only complications lie in resolving difference in semantics - printing out compatible syntax would take 10 minutes, really).
