This is with a snapshot from Aug 22nd. I vaguely remember that there
were problems in the past, because some providers (OECD?) introduced @
characters in their codes or so. Is this a similar problem?
OECD has again done something non-standard, but now it's different:
they've inserted a couple of layers of "children" (a dataset category
hierarchy) between the provider and the actual datasets. We'll see
what we can do about handling that.
