Very nice! I need to branch the 1.2.x series and then I'll add your patch.

If I read your patch correctly, just in a quick first glance, I think you 
can probably use the bggid without any additional changes, to update the 
entries.

Make the script accept the bggid on the command line, maybe with a --id flag 
or something. Then use %{bggid} in the update args in the source 
configuration. I guess the script would need to be able to distinguish a 
title update from an id update some how though, maybe just checking to see 
if either one is empty, and then using the other.

Very thorough, even including DTD updates. Nicely done! It's nice that 
boardgamegeek has such an API.
