I'll wait for an announcement, then. If you could CC me, that would
help as I am on quite a few mailing lists and don't read every

I am aware of that, but although the data will not be lost, the "other
device" will not support these fields, so whether or not the data is

Notes field. In fact, it would be nice if it would get moved there
automatically, transparently at sync time.
