1) When viewing the registered nickname and channels lists, httpd has no 
concept of suspension and will display suspended nicknames and channels as 
if they were usable. 

Although being able to see the information is useful, there needs to be an 
additional note stating that the nickname or channel is suspended and the 
new suspension reason field should be displayed. 

2) XML Download fails a few nicknames into my database. It appears to be 
parsing a hostmask as a memo but seems to fail in different places around 
the same entry each time. Refreshing the page or retrying from the menu 
will usually alter the error slightly. Andrew you have a pretty recent copy 
of my databases, but if you want the latest ones to try this on please let 
me know.

3) Suggestion - While StatServ pages are unimplemented within the httpd 
module, could a temporary page be returned as a placeholder with a title 
and "previous menu" hyperlink. Although it may seem to have little benefit, 
since the only documentation of it not working is the FIXME comment in the 
code, it would provide a more useful method to point out the work in 
progress status. Long term, it could well be worth keeping the simple code 
for this as a template for custom page additions to the module, part of the 
technical documentation, or even a permanent "under construction" page 
function for the module.
