Absolutely.  The onus would be on the applicant (a battle with the machine) to
go through all the necessary fields including the Flags. Their purpose are
already described in the nodelist.  Offer those in a drop-down and a link for a
H)help for each field and flag.

That would be a good test of comprehension and competence and leave the the
human NC/HUB alone to get on with their life until a successful netmail with
that validated data is submitted.
