Precisely! We should have all this stuff in one place! 

The extremely helpful developers from Palm are aware of most of these
issues, but for some reason the 'official' Palm documentation (and
indeed the knowledge base as well) usually neglects bugs and wierdness
in previous OS versions (wonder why ;)).

I guess we should stop writing emails and start drafting additions to
the FAQ?
