Any comments?
ummm.. I have a few questions...

(1) Kovid's legacy code is an interactive prompted option - and which I thnk it has to be if you are only matching on title. Personally I would never use it due to all the false positives from not comparing authors but fair enough if others find it useful. However my comment is are you saying it will be an "automerge" option to automatically merge on title, or an "automerge" option to not actually automerge and instead be interactively prompted?

(2) So am I right in saying your list will *not* (as yet at least) include the option that sparked this thread and several others of creating a duplicate book entry for when a duplicate format is encountered, but merge formats where they are missing?
