Oops. I overlooked that. Why don't they present the AKAs in numerical order? ;-)

If that is the problem, why not just say so? I don't understand this "unable to find common nodes in".

I do not know what to think of it...

I also wonder about the zone 20000. It is my understanding that some software limits the zone number to 12 bit. So the maximum is 4096. But I guess that is outside the jurisdiction of the nodelist police  ;-)
