most of them will be rejected, because as you pointed out, in many boards the roms were labeled differently for each version/bootleg. however there are still some which are just typos, i believe final lap is one example. but the majority of the cases is a matter of rom labeling. i think that the rom labels could be equally well documented in the source, but this is how mame documents them right now. if you're not a dumper, i don't think haze will accept changes on the file names ;) (except for obvious typos).

however, if you're proficient with altering rom loading stuff, there's an error in datafiles which bugs me a lot, and it's duplicated roms. except in some cases where the roms were phisically duplicated in the board (some sega model 2 i think), most of the times that mame needs to load a rom twice would be better solved by mirroring, i think. at least, in some cases it would be possible to use a ROM_RELOAD. but that's beyond my experience and knowledge, so i'm probably wrong.

a complete list of "errors" in the datfile could be generated using logiqx's datutil.
