Implied. I did a modification to a phone book entry on my Palm III and the
desktop and just the entry itself was duplicated.

But then the duplication problem still exists. If user modified a record
and Larry provides an update, then the entry will be duplicated and user
will have to resolve.

Also, this assumes a HotSync conduit for DB that can store in a file
format where it knows each record from the next.
