Updating old Scan-Results using new DBs of new nmap-Versions?

[rembrandt () jpberlin de]

Would it be possible to update old Scanresults (for example Scans made
with 3.95) if you updated (f.w. to the latest Version).

If you use -oA you get all output formats and also the Strings wich where
reported by the Service is included.
So would it be (theoretical, such a nmap-function would be realy sweet...)
possible to update these Results and maybe remove the "unknown" (+the
STring) from the File and replace it with (just as exmaple) "ISS 6.1 .NET
2.0".

The fingerprints are in the nmap-db so nmap could use the old output file
as input and checks it against the new DB.
And in case nmap isn`t sure it may could rescan just the specific Port on
the specific Host to test it again and then edit the file).

Kind regards,
Rembrandt
