Ah, I see. Support for a remote server is something different of course.

I was just pointing out that this is how data access works for other data types, e.g. emails. Having the data stored on a server is orthogonal to using a local service for data access. It is basically a specialized client, enabling transparent access to different forms of storage, enabling use on devices which can be used when not being connected to any network, etc. Cheers.
