  * Need to implement ghosted properties / SUPPORTED tag. Currently,  
each message that is sent from PIM -> Server is overwritten and  
replaced with only what the PIM sends. It's possible for some PIMS to  
ghost contact and calendar properties so that only the supplied tags  
are changed and missing, ghosted, properties are retained on the  
server.  When a PIM supports this, it sends a SUPPORTED tag with  
children representing the NON-ghosted properties. The absence of the  
SUPPORTED tag would indicate that any property not transmitted should  
be handled as a ghosted property.

  * Configurable heartbeat interval range: The protocol allows for  
rejecting heartbeat intervals that fall outside a specific range, and  
send back a suggested heartbeat interval to the client. This should be  
implemented as a configuration value.

-* Basic support for provisioning is already implemented, but support  
for remote wipe still needs work. The state storage needs to be able  
to support username/devid/policykey listing. The Z-Push file-based  
state storage did not support this, and actually never verified the  
policykey at all when using this state storage method. This should be  
easy to add by storing the state files under a username directory. The  
policykey storage was already added to the device's ping-state file so  
we can verify the key and enforce changes. Of course, a new  
history/sql state storage would make this easier (see first point).  
Version 12 and higher also support a "local wipe" which automatically  
wipes the device when certain policies are violated such as maximum  
password attempts (see task below regarding versions).

  * Todo syncing: Neither the iPod/iPhone or Android have a native  
Todo application. !TouchDown does provide one, but backend support  
still needs to be added.

  * Implement more recent protocol version support - version 12 or  
maybe 12.1 (Exchange 2007??) should be fairly non-disruptive. Version  
12 would get us more atomic policy settings, local wipe rules, as well  
as the ability to send the policy settings to the client as the more  
compact wbxml. 14 (Exchange 2010?) would probably be lots more work as  
it does away with PING, using SYNC for waiting for changes instead.
