It seems to be impossible to set a contact's individual name fields to
blank. For example, trying to change "Mr. Jerry Seinfeld Jr." to Mr. Jerry
Seinfeld" (removing the name suffix) produces "400 Bad Request" and "Missing
required text content." Here is the name element XML sent to Google
Contacts:
<gd:name>
<gd:givenName>Jerry</gd:givenName>
<gd:familyName>Seinfeld</gd:familyName>
<gd:nameSuffix/>
</gd:name>
Passing the following gives the same error:
<gd:name>
<gd:givenName>Jerry</gd:givenName>
<gd:familyName>Seinfeld</gd:familyName>
<gd:nameSuffix/></gd:nameSuffix>
</gd:name>
Why does Google Contacts treat blank values as errors when they are
certainly valid? Is there any way around this?
