Thanks for the pointer! The wiki mentions some other fields (and groups) which I don't see mentioned here. Also, looking at the code I don't see where the standard desktop fields are parsed either. It's at this point that I point people to this article, which seems relevant to the situation I find myself in: http://www.salon.com/21st/feature/1998/05/13feature.html Quote: "Over time, the only representation of the original knowledge becomes the code itself, which by now is something we can run but not exactly understand. It has become a process, something we can operate but no longer rethink deeply. Even if you have the source code in front of you, there are limits to what a human reader can absorb from thousands of lines of text designed primarily to function, not to convey meaning. When knowledge passes into code, it changes state; like water turned to ice, it becomes a new thing, with new properties. We use it; but in a human sense we no longer know it.
