Nonstandard PGN tag in RHP PGN data

When you get the PGN for a game from this site, it uses the tags "WhiteRating" and "BlackRating" for the players Elo. The PGN standard is to use "WhiteElo" and "BlackElo" for this purpose. See http://www.tim-mann.org/Standard section 9.1.2

What this means is the Elo values are lost when importing the PGN into an analysis engine or database (after the game has finished sheesh).

Is it possible to correct the PGN output that this site generates?

You answer your own question here:

"9.1.2: Tags: WhiteElo, BlackElo

These tags use integer values; these are used for FIDE Elo ratings"

rhp ratings are not FIDE Elo ratings.

Pgns are simply text files. Open it up with notepad, and do a replace all.

Replace all is what I currently do or I change them by hand before copying the pgn out off the Get PGN page. I just thought it might be a mistake in the PGN generation code on this site. I know that RHP ratings are not FIDE Elo scores but they are used in much the same way and therefore I still like them to be imported into my database.
