Hi CPH,

In addition, at least the "Version" information is needed. There might
be more fields with dynamic content, but probably none of practical
relevance.

Given that sometimes IZ is, ehm, not the most reliable service I know
;), this might be error prone.
Nonetheless, if you want to write and maintain such a script, and if we
can live with the possible delay (between new values being added to IZ
and being visible in the submission oages), and if we agree here on how
to guide the user through the submission, this might be a way to go.

Ciao
