To refresh everyone's memory, I'd just like to state that timetrack originally 
DID
have it's own separate table for companies. Although maybe not perfect for 
everyone's
needs, it was designed towards compatibility with addressbook at that time, 
although
I did feel it was somewhat crippled by having to adhere to addressbook's schema
in the first place. At one time they almost listened to me and temporarily 
added some
support for accessing company data in addressbook through timetrack's customer
tables on a conditional basis (depending on if timetrack was installed) but 
that was also
removed from addressbook at some point.
