That was the plan. From the original email: | Further work if you agree in principle: | * let clients query whether all contacts have the simplified ID - | could be done with the dynamic capabilities that I mentioned in | the e-client API thread; avoids reading all contact (UIDs) > But *only* if it really is an > optimisation, and designed such that the code still works (via the > mapping) without it. I can't promise that the code will work without it right away because the mapping hasn't been implemented yet due to lack of time.
