That isn't semantics :-)  Does the phone have an email address 
independent of anything else?

Did you try?  And if it can't the database should be fixed, not
mangling the data.

You said 'string of names'.  Do they reference contacts on the
phone?  eg if I have a contact of John Smith with number 1234567890
and the list has 1234567890 in it and then on the phone I change
John Smith's number, does the list change as well?

Then it really does sound like we should use references.  If we
import into BitPim, change details for the contact and export
back to the phone, then the right thing should happen.
