I think it just complicates mythfilldatabase when we should be doing the 
opposite. This sort of thing is best handled by the grabber.

Maintaining code for special cases is never-ending and Myth's development 
cycle just isn't fast enough to keep up with changes.

I'm already working on simplifying mythfilldatabase as a result of the 
improvements and standardisation of the xmltv grabbers. Ideally this should 
eliminate most of the special case handling for different grabbers and the 
need for any arguments to be passed in.
