     Bug: 11693 Some clients require the duedate/startdate fields.

     This makes no sense to me. The protocol docs state the  
POOMTASKS_DUEDATE and
     POOMTASKS_STARTDATE fields are for the "local" time of the  
duedate. While the
     *_UTCSTARTDATE and *_UTC_DUEDATE fields are for the UTC time.  We have
     no way of knowing, on the server, what the local timezone of the  
device is, and
     the device, likewise, has no way of knowing what the server's timezone is.

     Additionally, the docs also state the ALL date/time data are to  
be transmitted
     in UTC. Some devices transmit both fields to the server,  
formatted as UTC time,
     but with the actual time offset by the UTC offset for the devices  
timezone!

     Until someone can provide a better explanation to me, we will  
treat both fields
     as equal.
