I've given this a crack and it mostly seems to work, except I'm not sure 
how to get the score back into the crawldb. After reading the Javadoc, I 
figured that passScoreAfterParsing() was the method I need to implement. 
All others are just simple one-liners for this case. Unfortunately, 
passScoreAfterParsing() is alone in not having a CrawlDatum argument, so 
I can't call datum.setScore(); I did notice that OPICScoringFilter does 
this in passScoreAfterParsing: 
parse.getData().getContentMeta().set(Nutch.SCORE_KEY,  ...); and I tried 
that in my own scoring filter, but just get the zero from 
datum.setScore(0.0f) in initalScore().

Couple of questions then:
1. Does it make sense to put the relevancy scoring code into 
passScoreAfterParsing()
2. If so, how do I get the score into the crawldb?

I'm a bit vague on how all these bits connect together under the hood at 
the moment.....

Cheers,
Carl.
