+Bedework notes:
+
+Some of the fields defined below are indexed or stored versions of x-properties.
+These are stored by separating the parameters and value with a tab character.
+
+These fields MUST be stored as string values - even if the value is numeric.
+
+If you wish to store/index a numeric x-property as a numeric value you will
+need to treat that x-property specially in the implementation of the 
+bedework indexer.
+
+We could generalize that by adding more flags to the list of interesting 
+x-props.
