   isn't "-Unpublished-" also decoupled from those verbs so that it can be used   
   without them?   
      
   one of the goals is (was?) for entries like this   
      
   Pvt,50,Haven's_Terminus,Haven_NC_USA,Max_Haven,-Unpublished-,300,XA,IBN:foo.com   
      
   to become entries like this   
      
   ,50,Haven's_Terminus,Haven_NC_USA,Max_Haven,-Unpublished-,300,XA,IBN:foo.com   
      
   indicating ION without unnecessarily blocking dual-mode or other ION systems   
   or forcing them to use an override to get around "Pvt" in the first field...   
   IIRC, POTS Only systems won't dial with "-Unpublished-" in field 6 whether   
   field one contains anything or not...
