Good idea.  At some point I would like to add that functionality to
the submission CGI.  So if you try to submit an undetected OS/service
result, it would tell you that it already matches in the current DB
(and give the match details).  We already have tools for this sort of
matching, as we use them to integrate submissions.  Maybe we'll
package them with Nmap at some point.
