There is team.setMembers. If you need team.update, please post an enh-bug.

owner_id's are always accounts.

Yes, this is right. Its a boolean which marks a team as a "location" (eg 
London, Munich). Whether this has practical value, I don't know ;-)
Its a bit more convenient to select a location in the UI.

Martin can probably tell more about Person documents when he is back ...

Yes.

Not sure. The "model idea" is that you have a "company" record which has 
named "address" and "phone" records (1:N, 1:N).

You may want to post a bug if you think there is redundant information. 
Note that the information may indeed be redundant in the Document ObjC 
object for speed and that the XML-RPC representation is autogenerated.
Anyway, Martin must tell ;-) And I'm not sure whether we want to break 
the output for legacy reasons.

In theory they are user defined, but in practice the WebUI frontend only 
displayed the default set (AFAIK, Martin?) The set of default address 
always created is LSAddressType, see Defaults.plist.

You may want to submit a bug "add user defined addresses" to Bugzilla.

Somewhat like above. But I think the viewers display all available 
phones, its configurable using the LSTeleType default (see 
Defaults.plist in LSAddress).

Added the plist to docs:

Seems to be fixed, Burkhard checked. Close the bug.
