Right now the dodginess is only detected for records where we interpret the Country name as a particular country and also have coordinates and the coordinates do not intersect the country. In many cases we actually also determine that the latitude is negated, the longitude is negated and/or the latitude and longitude are transposed.

we could probably make th e second (coordinate issues) option user
settable (or at the least a setting in our global config file).

Great,

I will then uncomment the code :)
