Malcolm: This is a seductive possibility, and should probably be done, but I 
would have thought that most of the file needs translating anyway, if only to 
regularise orthography.

Albert: One way of cutting down the size might be to review whether we need 
repeating entries (eg entries for a country in the Europe section, and the 
same entries in the World section).  I vaguely recall a discussion 6 months 
ago about adding the .kgm qualifiers for the entries (I think the reason was 
to disambiguate identical placenames?), but this leads to bloat in the file.  
Would it not be better to get rid of the .kgm entries, and disambiguate via 
additions to the name (eg Paris (Texas) and Paris (France)?
