Main idea was to provide different field types for different SQL types.
Text means something big and with possible violations to XML markup.
String means something like numbers, GUIDs, etc. We can change all possible
'unsafe' entries to 'text' but keep 'string' for GUIDs, numbers, revisions, etc.
I'm fine with such changes if you can provide proof for particular field :-)
