FieldSpecs are deprecated, only supported in datanav for older apps. datanav2 
doesn't 
support them. No, DataStructure doesn't replace FieldSpecs.

FieldSpecs was a great idea for quickly making apps without having to define 
the same 
things over and over again in the biz and ui layers, and multiple places in the 
ui 
layer. But it served to limit the scope of datanav-based apps, so I moved away 
from it.
