I agree. There are some other (interdependent) services where this might 
be useful, but usually it's not.

Sorry, forgot to mention WMOGAG. I found out about it all too late, so I 
had learned most of the tricks already. It's a very useful document indeed.

Btw. Maybe I could get my "Nokia<->Funambol<-><->GroupDAV connector 
2<->OpenGroupware.org" synchronization document included in it too? The 
current version of that document (in OGo plone) is pretty good but not 
entirely up-to-date. I'll be pushing a new version for latest software 
versions to OGo plone in a few weeks. Of course I'd appreciate if I'm 
given the appropriate credit in WMOGAG.
