Nelson,

I would advise against it.  I think most of us would want to know that
we had corrupted data so that we could track it down to its ugly source
and eliminate it there.  Having the problem just get 'fixed' without an
error message or any other notice does not strike me as a good idea.

Once you know you have corrupt data, then this H-spec could be used to
fix the problem.

Regards,
Andy Nolen-Parkhouse
