ContactEntry.Update() fails With Blank Org Name or Title

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Initialize a new ContactEntry object from an existing or new contact.
2. Set the default (Organizations[0]) Name or Title properties to a blank 
string ("").
3. Call Update() on the ContactEntry object.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect to see nothing, the ContactEntry object should be written back to 
the server without error. Instead I am getting a GDataRequestException 
thrown. The server is responding with the HTTP "Bad Request" status code. 
The response string is "[Line 5, Column 20, element gd:orgTitle] Missing 
required text content".

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

ok. changed code in subversion to accomodate this. if you know do a org.Title 
="" or org.Title=null it will 
remove that element.

Same is true for the Name .

Will be in release 1.4.0.0 and after
