That might give you a good hit rate, but it won't give you an accurate
S/O number.

Sort of like http://www.pathname.com/~corpus/DETAILS.new ?
The corpora have to be sorted by humans to be accurate and runs need to
be synchronized so everyone tests the same rules so runs only happen
once a day, which is fast enough.
We've been doing this for well over a year and it works great. If only
we had more active developers working on rules...
