Or maybe "ExternalContactInfoId" and "ExternalAuthInfoId". And perhaps
I'd add columns to track what system is used to get that info, something
like "ContactInfoSystem" and "AuthSystem". Yeah, that sounds smart!

I should have dug just a touch deeper. Color me mortified. =\

However, now that I'm digging, these don't seem to be used in RT code,
nor are they mentioned on the wiki. Googling through the mail archives
finds only three-year-old unanswered questions. Is there code somewhere
(in RTFM or RTIR?) which shows their preferred use, or just there for
use by folks who know about them in ways they divine or devise?

Thanks!
