I don't think so (and it wasn't me who wrote it). It
says that "This is a known shortcoming of the DB.", 
i.e. a shortcoming of the Plucker format not the 
viewer. The viewer only interprets the data in the 
Plucker document.

Now I see why we had a difference of opinion on this.  I have considered everything on my Palm as the Plucker viewer and did not differentiate between the viewer and its pdb file.  When I've written applications for clients in the past, they have never said, "Your data is structured incorrectly", they just say, " Your application does not work correctly".  It is often difficult for an end user to determine if code or data is at fault when an application behaves incorrectly.  With regard to Palm applications, I am definitely an end user.
