No all that long ago (but in the paper-log era) ARRL did grant DXCC credit
for contacts in cross-checked logs. Don't know why the practice was
stopped, perhaps workload (?).
It would take some non-trivial programming resources to implement, and given
the LoTW "security model", wouldn't likely be transparent to log-submitters.
Probably a non-starter.
