The disclaimer is very important, as the script is missing a second update to exchange the hint counts between the two outlines. If you don't do this, a subsequent export/import of the outlines loses any outlines where the hint count doesn't match the number of rows in ol$hints.
I've got a couple of articles on my website (also published on dbazine) which expand the issues of faking outlines into place.
