Ah, but it is an important point to me. My main concern is the FreeBSD 
ports collection, I don't care much about OpenBSD compatibility.

That's unfortunate. I would prefer when you would care more about 
portaudit, especially the <range> elements have to adhere to FreeBSD 
semantics. Since you seem not to check your entries with portaudit, I 
have a lot of work dealing with vuxml quirks. OTOH when you think we 
have different design goals, it should be no problem for me to change 
the database, since portaudit is database format agnostic.
