  8. During externalization I have noticed that FW_CODPart makes the following
  9. calls in Externalize():
  10.     part->AddProperties(ev, partStorageUnit);
  11.  
  12.      // ----- Clean the content property -----
  13.     part->PrivCleanseContentProperty(ev, partStorageUnit);
  14.  
  15.      // ----- Externalize part specific data -----
  16.     part->ExternalizeContent(ev, partStorageUnit, NULL);
  17.  
  18. The first call adds the property  kODPropContents to the storage unit with
  19. value "GetPartKind(ev)".
  20.  
  21. The second then removes all values for that property, including the one
  22. just added.
  23.  
  24. The third call calls ClearPartStorage() before asking the part content to
  25. Externalize(). ClearPartStorage() focuses on the value "GetPartKind()" of
  26. kODPartContents, removes it and then adds it again.
  27.  
  28. This all seems a bit redundant. Just thought I'd bring it to your attention.
