Deleting Contacts about mdeditor HOT 2 OPEN

Another thought. Maybe not allow deletion of contacts/dictionaries from sidebar at all, but only from dashboards. That way records/contacts/dictionaries will always be closed when deletes are requested.

I'm thinking that we treat the "application-level" and "record-level" contact lists as completely separate data stores. So once you put a contact into a "record" it's managed there. Deleting it will not delete from the app store and vice-versa. Of course, we can provide utilities for moving contacts between the two stores as well as updating "matching" (based on contactId) contacts. We'll still need to check the current record before allowing deletion of "record" contacts, but at least we're limiting the scan to one record. It's somewhat less elegant than I would like, but it seems the safest, most efficient way.
