 I have looked at making corrections for general errors, that have an easy
 algorithm to correct in a preprocessor like e.g. ERRFLAGS.

 Errors like there was in R25 in the previous nodelist, where a comma was
 missing at the beginning of the line.

 If you follow the nodelist over a long period of time you will find more
 errors, that are correctable by a simple rule.

 The general reaction to inclusion is, that a higher level C should not make
 any changes to the segments offered for inclusion.

 In a way this makes sense. The lower level C knows, that he submits a segment
 with errors, or ignores the results of the testrun, that is available to him.

 ERRFLAGS makes some cosmetic changes and can enforce the allowed flags for
 the Zone or lower level. It cannot be used on a full nodelist, where there
 are different rules on the use of flags.
