Just one comment - I suspect that a lot of those typos and mis-copies
would be avoided if spots were being generated based on what people
actually entered in their logs - on the theory that people are less
careful if they are spotting manually after a QSO, and believe that a
typo in a spot "does no harm."

The same here...I ended up with about 400 Qs playing around. First SSB
I've done in forever. 100' doublet at 45' and 500 watts.
I ran assisted, and basically just went from spot to spot with the arrow
keys in N1MM. I rarely touched the big knob.
Occasionally I did tune by a good station that had not been spotted, so I
spotted those. I really would prefer people *don't* automatically spot
everything. It adds to the traffic, and displays a *lot* of busted spots -
typos or mis-copies, I don't know which...but there were a lot of them.
Anyway, it looks like my tower and antennas won't be up before ARRL-DX,
so...dang.

I made 375 Qs, more than I've made in the SSB test in many years.
Activity was very high - you can see it in the scores reported in the first
hour after the contest ended.
There was plenty of spotting compared to every other phone contests. I
don't think anyone has any obligation to turn spotting on.
I'd answer Whither CQ WW with "up up and away" by all signs.
