Hi,

I've seen you have changed the support a little with this:

commit 307c2890949e2771e137b42827fe3b2a9bcd9363

     Use a more likely delimter for the freeform children field.

     We will always export this as a single field instead of splitting
     on the delimiter since we can't guarentee what delimiter the user
     will use and a comma (the most likely choice) can also be used
     to seperate name suffixes (at least in some languages).
---------------------

I've tested that code and have the impression we generate
ActiveSync XML data not according to the spec:

With the new code, we send data like this:
---------------------
     2013-04-19T17:34:15+02:00 DEBUG: [12947] O        <POOMCONTACTS:Children>

     2013-04-19T17:34:15+02:00 DEBUG: [12947] O        <POOMCONTACTS:Children/>
---------------------

My old code sent data like this:

-> We are lacking the "child" XML attribute.
