A quick question - if I use a non-nil org-feed-assume-stable, will
that handle "updating" a changed reqall entry? This would be both for
the case of the entries initially saying "Reqall is typing what you
said" before they are transcribed, and for the case of editing an
existing entry on the iPhone or web interface.
