No worries, the CDR code appears to be rather complex and everyone has  
their own implementation requirements.

With our use case, we've decided to use the CDR for archival purposes  
and rather than mess with database triggers or polling, use CURL to  
post specific details into a web service that keeps the data  
normalized in the way we need.

A work-around until some sort of cdr_html_post comes along.
