For anyone looking at this thread, I've created an issue here: http://code.google.com/p/gdata-issues/issues/detail?id=874
Eric- I'm wondering in your conversations with the developers, was this something that they just didn't think of, or is there a big scary technical reason they didn't implement it? I ask because if it was just an oversight we might see a fix quickly, but if it was intentional it might never get fixed. Thanks!
