People "cleaning up" my submissions implies I did them wrong in the first place. (And the odds of stephh touching Naomi are about the same as Twisty unbanning Tom Riddle).

1) Because the "rules" for 8.3 set names are not always entirely clear, but Brian Troha has more or less become the Final Arbiter of them.
2) Because Japanese sets are often dumped first, and then everything has to be re-parented each time there's a dump of a new region.
3) Because it's really fun to make Neo Geo players download new roms.
4) Because there are rules (poorly understood or not) for the 8.3 setnames and there are no rules for the human-readable names given that they're meant solely to be human-readable.
