I suppose the reason prboom demos couldn't be accepted is because of the various things you can see that you shouldn't be able to -- I tried a few max runs of e1m4, and every once in a while I'd miss a monster in the maze and I'd know because the kill count wasn't the right number.
Yes, and there's other advantages, too - like the ability to run in high resolutions, for example. Playing (and recording) in 1280x1024 is quite different from 320x200, and things like longtics also make it easier to record demos.
Not to mention that PrBoom fixes lots of DOOM bugs, which, while not typically giving you an advantage per se, will still make it difficult to compare demos.
Overall, though, I'll just reiterate my opinion that all the demo sites (particularly C-N, DSDA and Public DANG) should merge into one database-driven site that records more information about demos than just the wad/map and the time (or minimum health), one with lots of nice features, search capabilities, overviews, detailed breakdowns, tables and statistics. ^.^ And, for that matter, one where people can upload demos themselves (so the workload for Opulent gets reduced a bit, too, allowing him to focus on more important things that putting demos online and posting links all the time :)).
