When receiving set all attributes empty for which we get empty  
attributes in the data. This is already done for Turba not sure about  
Kronolith. As addition check if we get capabilities from the client  
and use them to set attributes empty which the client supports but  
have not delivered (this is the second part of the patch).

When sending provide all attributes we know in the data, even empty  
ones. Additionally check if we have client capabilities to avoid  
sending useless attributes which may get big in size like photo,notes  
etc. This is not yet done for Turba/Kronolith.

Would this be an acceptable approach?

 From my findings it seams the "CTCaps" are not well supported by most  
clients and are stated as "should" not "must" in the SyncML Standard.
