Please correct me in case I misunderstand something.

As i understand that could become a problem with software like Intellisync
which relies on the current XML sheme.
Being able to sync with Outlook is one of the advantages being still
compatible with Qtopia as it is used on the Sharp Zaurus.

BTW: I love OPIE ! Wish i had more time to learn Qt programming and to deepen
my C++ skills.
