Hi Francois,

 FM> These flags seem to be authorized worldwide.

The Nodelist segment HEADER and TRAILER portions are unique for each ZONE,
that is why the trailer you quoted is valid for YOUR Zone, but those flags are 
NOT valid in THIS Zone. 

For comparison, here is the nodelist trailer taken from the Zone 3
Nodelist.337. I have edited out much of the comments otherwise it would go on
for many more pages, but ALL the acceptable (in Zone 3) flags are listed -

So you can see that the flags you have available there are different from what 
we have available.
