 Question:

Are all these fields mandatory or are there fields that may or may not
show up (specifically "_<table>")?
I am attempting to parse this taxonomy and I want to make sure I have
all the facts.

thanks

Also, what is the decision on the "_" syntax?

I am writing the parser now, so the sooner I can get a resolution the
better.  thanks
