Err, no, it's not. Each record just has an index (0..15) into the
list of categories. Hence renaming a category (for example) doesn't
affect its records at all. There is s certain independancy between the
categories and the records (which is a problem on it's own), but syncing
categories and records are not related tasks.

It would get complicated for instance when a category name/ID is moved
into a different slot in the category array, in which case all records
must get updated with the new index. By PalmOS paradigm this will never
happen however.
