Dan, thanks for the confirmation.

@all:
To me this looks like a mid-to-huge conceptional & functional bug, as it 
results in NO possibility to asure certain fields ARE being filled in.

Anybody knowing a workaround for this issue, as to make fields really 
mandatory?
In case not, I guess we should bug-tracker it.

regards georg
