Anyway, why don't you use this feature also for wiki-tools? Isn't it simpler to parse a CSV file than a full HTML page?

Yes, but that option didn't exist when i wrote the tool and i didn't know it would be so easy for Witte to add it. The advantage of scraping is that i can accept partial names and actually get several different skill sets, but since i haven't made use of that besides letting the user put in a shorter (but uniquely identifying) subset of his avatar name, it's not too important.
Mostly, it's that i put some effort into getting the scraping set up and don't like to abandon it now and start over on an easier implementation.
