AFAIK Palm "only" reserves those creator ideas that are all lower case..
'addr', 'memo', 'xxxx', etc...
>From a community standpoint, though.. you might want to register it and make
it "confidential" or "hidden" or whatever it is the database calls it. Just
because it never leaves your shop doesn't mean you won't end up installing
something that did register 'Fred' and then you'd be in conflict anyway...
Besides, as has been well documented in the past, just because you think it
won't leave your shop doesn't mean it won't... and you wouldn't want a test
application to accidentally pass itself off as another application, it might
get called a Trojan in all the press.
