While we're here, another FWIW for anyone who cares about such stuff...
I notice that some of the field codes are specified as "transitional" in
OOXML - AUTONUM, AUTONUMLEGAL, AUTONUMOUTLINE, BARCODE, BIDIOUTLINE, EQ
and INFO.
A number of fields that are actually recognised by Word 2007/2008 are
not even mentioned in "transitional" - I don't know of any except the
following:
ADDIN (could well be used by third-party products, especially for
merge-type operations. The rather similar PRIVATE is retained.
CONTACT (MAC only - inserts an entry from the Mac Office Address book.
CONTROL (i.e. an ActiveX (form) control)
Not a very helpful field IMO)
DDE (I doubt if even the contact management packages that used to use
this and DDEAUTO still do)
DDEAUTO
EMBED (i.e. I assume that this can be specified another way in XML)
GLOSSARY (replaced by AUTOTEXT but still functions)
HTMLCONTROL (form field in Web page view)
IMPORT (old version of INCLUDETEXT - still functions I think)
INCLUDE (old version of INCLUDEPICTURE - still functions I think)
PLACEHOLDER (Mac only - I think this is the field whose VBA ID number
conflicts with ADDRESSBLOCK, which is not yet implemented on Mac. Lucky
VBA went, at least temporarily in Word 2008 and is irrelevant for XML!)
SUBSCRIBER (Mac only, for the Mac publish/subscriber facility, pretty
sure even the facility is no longer used in MACOSX, at least not
extensively
And MacWord does not currently implement GREETINGLINE and perhaps some
others.
Don't think I'll be visiting this particular area for some time to come!

Hi Peter,
Whew! That rejoinder is rather more than I bargained for.
However, FWIW your comment about "the field parameter syntax that
allows use of { QUOTE 13 } to insert a CR" is wrong. If you try it,
Word will generate the error message "Error! Cannot insert return
character." Still, there remains the question of how one applies the
OOXML standards to using { QUOTE 09 } to insert a tab, { QUOTE 11 } to
insert a line feed, { QUOTE 12 } to insert a page break, { QUOTE 14 }
to insert a column break, and so on.
