In the gtodo2 xml format I also plan to implement a "deleted" flag, this 
should help allot with synchronization with f.e. evolution. (otherwise 
deleted items gets re-added on sync every time.)
If the author of ackerTodo wants/needs stuff to be added/changed for 
gtodo2 let me know, nothing isn't really "decided" yet for it.
