Ok, I've added the UID field by md5'ing the item's uid.   Seems to not  
cause any other issues with the clients I can test. This field is  
supposed to be an optional *client* generated id, not a server  
generated id, so I have no idea what MfE is doing with the value. My  
hope is that it's just a bug in MfE's decoding, and that it is not  
actually using this value.  My fear is that it is using it as an  
identifier instead of the serverId field, which the EAS spec says it  
must use.  Please test this to be sure that:

1) After syncing appointment TO phone, that editing the appointment on  
either the phone or the server continues to work and does not cause  
duplicate entries.

2) After creating an appointment on the phone, try editing it on the  
server and be sure that it doesn't create a duplicate (of completely  
fail to update) the entry on the phone.


You can either pull from git or apply the following two changes manually:
