Will do.

Just to make sure I understand: We don't use the three-byte unique IDs
in the record-ID list header structure, but we do use the absolute offset
to the record? Do the two-byte unique IDs in the data records still
need to accord with those three-byte IDs for any purpose at all, be it
Plucker or PalmOS?
Presumably I can also remove the proviso that the three-byte unique ID
must be less than 0x10000, since it isn't really used.
