I wonder, would it be possible to specify alternative titles in the XML
returned from the grabber? So when fixing up a title, the original could
also be provided to the app consuming the data.

Then the app (e.g. mythfilldatabase) would be able to see that the programme
title had changed, and adjust its rules automatically. It can compare its
rules against all of the alternative titles, to prevent issues where one
programme replaces another in the schedules.

Me too, it does make setting recording rules a bit easier!
