OK, thanks.  Looks like the '99999999' method is the easiest.  That way
when I update the title, I'll change the inetref.  Now to figure out where
to stash the correct inetref.

I've though about adding an option to the updates that would allow a user
specify what fields to update.  That way a user could update only those
fields s/he wants updated.  If you think a patch wouldn't be accepted,
then I'll pass on doing the work.  :-)
