Has anyone officially considered trying to identify the Allied airmen that were most often washed ashore and buried in France, Belgium Netherlands and Germany in WW2?

I know these airmen are buried in proper graves but in a way it seems strange that we accept that a WW1 grave site dug by the Germans in France and lost for nearly a century can be excavated and the remains checked for personal items and DNA samples and yet no attempt has been made to do this with the unknown graves especially where researchers are almost certain who is buried there.

On a similar note has anyone prepared a list of unknown WW2 airmen buried in the above countries, with a note of when are where they were found and when they were buried? Understandibly it is not easy researching unknown graves on the CWGC web site- yet they must know the details.
