It no longer works as a lookup dictionary. I.e. it should work exactly as the original.

I assumed the objective of the mobipunpack.py developers was to re-create the original source files as good as possible so that you could theoretically unpack a dictionary correct an entry and recompile it without any loss of functionality. Currently this doesn't seem to work.

I know that the Kindle app doesn't allow users to select user dictionaries anyway, but it is possible to patch the ASIN number of a user dictionary so that it matches the ASIN of one of the 5 official dictionaries.

IMHO, it doesn't make much sense to convert a dictionary to a Mobipocket ebook because the user looses the dictionary functionality.

AFAIK, Javascript code is not required in Mobipocket dictionary .html source files and wasn't present in my dictionary .html source file before it was compiled.

Please have a look at the original .html source file and the one that the script re-creates and you'll see that they differ significantly and I'm not talking about whitespace characters and line-breaks.
