I get that. I am FAR more comfortable with that type of guideline:

• the data isn't normative (at least not all of it)
• the format isn't set in stone
• don't ask for additions or changes
• caveat emptor

than with any sort of blanket statement about "don't parse this file."

I hereby promise to use NamesList.txt responsibly and with all of the
above conditions in mind. Hopefully others will too.
