True. I know that one of the editors of the book, Maurice Vandebroek
is from Belgian Limburg. You may hope that having a broad range of
editors from all over the country will prevent books like these from
becoming a strange mishmash of words.

A similar project, internet (usenet) based this time, is also in the
works. The list is made by contributors to the usenet group nl.taal
(both Belgian and Dutch), and can be found at
<http://users.pandora.be/taalvandaal>. This is work in progress
(although there is quite a lot there already, actually).
