Well, I've converted my lists from text fields to blobs for this
release -- it's too late to change the underlying db structure for
older versions for now, because it would require too much testing
before the deadline.
If you do change the code to change the "zero-tolerance" policy
(sorry, couldn't help it), please let me and the list know -- it will
help us track down any odd behavior that arises.
