Are you talking about the same thing ? Miguel is talking about loosing the
vCard struct and using an interface like gnomecals. It transfers records
as strings (in vcal format) but has methods like get_object_by_pilot and
get_updated_objects. 

Gnomecal has been extended to support pilot ids pilot status.

More methods in the interface, fewer structs.

a deleted item. and purge it from the palmpilot as well.
