Is this necessarily the case? The string-to-key'd version can be
checked against a string-to-key'd database.
This is only possible for dictionary checks and the like; most quality
checks work on the ASCII pattern, often in combination with context-
dependent information such as `finger' data. In other words, there
is not necessarily a fixed database to work from.
