Ah, there's the beauty of this.  ClearSync uses the default Calendar
and Contacts databases on the Palm to store its data, but appends
those data with a secondary database to store ClearSync-specific stuff
(e.g., owner, shared data from others, multi-category assignments,
etc.).  All the standard Calendar and Contact data are left intact and
usable through the base apps even if you delete ClearSync from the
Treo.

Yes, yes, I've been waiting nearly a decade for that myself.  I
stopped holding my breath and am just using the best in class until a
true standard PIM format emerges (if it ever does).
