AH!  I like *that* explanation. Put *that* in the Helps.  ;)

I had no idea that oxp could utilize incoming "full" nodelists  
and update the config that way.  I thought the updates only  
pertained to diffs if/when they arrived. And otherwise if the  
diff setting was disabled, I thought that NOTHING would happen  
with the incoming files - and require manual processing.
