I have not delved deeply in to the new OS (yet). However, I hope that PalmSource does a better job of providing functions to get at some of the attributes of their private structures. I don't know how many times I have wanted to see if an attribute was set in field (such as right align or left align) and would actually have to break the "best practices" to check the flag.
You could always do that using FldGetAttributes/FldSetAttributes -- the FieldAttrType structure isn't part of the protected set.
