Actually one of the things that occurred to me after writing that is 
that you're possibly missing what seems to be a base assumption
to Palm OS development - that OS-level programming (which is
what you're doing) will be done by licensees working with 
PalmSource.  Much of this isn't documented simply because 
there are only a handful of apps that will ever be written at that
level and the assumption is that those people approach PalmSource,
demonstrate the usefulness of their application to the platform and
gain NDA-protected access to internal information.

I think you're feeling the pain of being isolated from that process,
but your organisation certainly has the credibility to sign into an 
agreement with PalmSource.  Now I've never done this, but I've
worked with hardware developers for whom it's commonplace.

Has your organisation contacted PalmSource with a view to gaining
access to their internal resources?
