Problems exist because USA uses a proprietary handicapping system, and a measure of distance used at few if any other places in aviation.

I beg to differ with you on that, Jim. This has NOTHING to do with rules, handicaps, etc. This is all post scoring, where do we store the flight logs and make a link to them rather than a link to a zip file with all the flight logs in it.

Note please that the current US system does exactly what it was tasked to do which is to "promptly" provide all logs in a place where pilot can review their flights or those of their competitors.
The public availability of those files is a useful addition for a few folks. I have, on occasion, looked at one of my flights and did not find it painful, though it was not one click satisfaction.
I wonder how many people want to view these files and whether their interest would justify the time required of a qualified volunteer to take it to another level.
FWIW
