OK. Won't remove them just yet.

It's not that easy, as I'd have to parse the EDICT entry to fill in 
form, etc. etc. What I have been working (glacially) towards is a 
proper online edit system which works off the actual database. You can
see a prototype at:  http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/cgi-bin/wwwjdic5.cgi?1C
It doesn't actually go anywhere yet, so don't try and use it to send in
corrections.
