[missing-sync-pocketpc-talk] ical tasks and start dates

[Christopher P. Twomey]

it looks to me like this is something that has not been an issue for 
most people since the early revisions last year, but i thot i'd raise a 
variant of the old issue.

when tasks w/ due dates in ical are transfered over, the due date is 
created in the PPC, but the start date is left blank.  i don't wonder 
if it might be more functional to create both the start date and due 
date on the PPC as the same as the due date on iCal.  many add-on's in 
the PPC seem to use the start date as key for defining when a task 
shows up on today screens, calendar displays, etc.

given that on the iCal side people don't have the option to set them as 
different, my guess is that having the missing sync handle this by 
setting the two the same would not cause any problems for users who are 
not having problems now.

(i vaguely recall that the pocketmac folk had done something to address 
this problem, but i have no idea if it helped or hurt more people.  
given the general quality of their product, i'd suspect the later.  but 
now i'm just engaging in bitter slander, so i'll shut up now.)

any thoughts from other users of Mark/Space folk on the pros and cons 
of this issue?
