Nedjo nails the problem.  Not everybody implements the CCK hook, so
while I'm currently using the CCK API to get most of the fields, it's
not perfect.

In an ideal world, the node object would have been designed, rather
that grown through accretion.   The fields would be organized and we'd
have an API to handle this.  :-)
