This reflects an addition to the API where the plug-in developer can
send a subset of fields which they will accept from the Newton. I did
this because the Names soup could contain who-knows-what from other
applications. Plus it saves time to only transfer/read the fields that
you're interested in. Since the plug-ins are open-source (although they
haven't been updated on the site in a week or so... they're changing
too much right now) it would be possible to add additional sync fields;
however, adding them to the Newton API would require some Newton OS
programming as well.
