So, towards closing the loop here ...

Crystal: are you ok with the two proposed stories as written?

---
* As a user, I want optionally to specify which types of data will be synced 
before I have to create a Firefox Account and log in to my browser. During this 
process, I want to be able to get more information about what each type of data 
is and what it means for me in terms of browser functionality, potential 
bandwidth usage, and what happens to that data after I have logged out of my 
browser.

* As a user, I want to be able to modify my Sync data settings in my browser at 
any time after I have set up Sync and am logged into my Firefox Account.
---

If so, I'll add them to the MVP list unless there is strenuous objection 
otherwise.
