You cannot drop an entry with a Hub, Host, Region or Zone entry. If you do the hole segment has to be dropped.
You cannot replace a Hub, Host, Region, Zone tag by Pvt for the same reason, as the following lines will be added to the foregoing segment.
I have not checked with makenl, but what does it do without Allowunpub, when a Host line contains -Unpublished- ?
I agree, that makenl was crippled in it's checks to allow for a changing needs. Crippling the checks in makenl was easy, getting consenus on new limits of what was allowable was not, or not tried. Common sense by those who edit the segments, was expected to be enough.
The problem is, that common sense is not common.
As for what makenl should check and what makenl should not check, be aware that as far as makenl is concerned, a nodelist line ends with the modem speed value. Makenl has no knowlede of flags.
You may claim, that including the flags in tests is peanuts, as you have done it in your util, including such rules in makenl, could be a major effort.
And if done, will the main users of makenl then accept such changes to that program.
Another thing would be to make the use of a pre/post filter programm mandatory. History has show, that introducing such a programm fidonet wide is next to impossible, but you are welcome to try.
