Yes, obviously there are some problems with the .xml file, hope ISI will fix them in future. 
Well, program is coming along nicely. This should help Tim or whoever is going to maintain the championship table alot hopefully. While more or less all will be handled automatically it will be necessary to cross-check due to the problems with the result-files. I think most of the time it will be ok. Mauserrifle (the one who made simresults.net) suggest to get someone else's xml file if a fulll driver entry is missing. This program will "combine" the two different xml-files when both are imported (so if the first xml-file is missing driver x and the second driver y you will have both drivers in the final result). This should allow to get the right result most of the times, and as I said I hope ISI will fix this in the future
Also there is always the possibilty to change the database-entry by hand to get the right result.
Its probably favorable to use servers xml-file, this should be the most reliable one.
Players changing their name will be a problem too, but all will be stored in a database and the entry can be changed to reflect the change of name. This will need someone with database knowledge at the beginning though, maybe later I could add a feature which allows this in an easy way so everyone can do it.
