It's something I looked at briefly and depending on how many error reports I 
get I may look at it again if I find lots of phonetic-type errors that aren't 
matched properly. Postgres' fuzzystrmatch module has DM functions too which is 
useful.

DM as far as I can see is designed for single words, and this would then 
multiply the word splitting problem I already have.

If there were another mechanism I would like to introduce it would be longest 
common substring matching to catch situations where words have been reordered.
