Thom, This is great! I'm really pleased to see you (and really, the larger a-s team!) thinking about extensible Sync 1.5. Sync 1.6, if you will :)

Or inline the text here and we'll do it by email, although I think many folks won't appreciate the verbiage. I think we should run this by the Kinto folks as well. I feel that if we can't implement "basically Kinto.js" on top of this then we're probably not doing the right thing. Best, Nick
