The Cab-Converter program has documentation for each contest (or, at  
least
_will_ have documentation for each contest) describing what information
from the exchange needs to be captured and where it should be put. I  
think
you'll see that in the first few contests I've documented in the current
bundle.

While I could always brain-storm more ways MLDX could somehow help
with this, isn't it true that the current fields, along with a
healthy Cab-converter, are sufficient? (It has been for me...)
