Yes, it's nice, because it defines a standard way of communicating syncing 
data. What I don't like about it is that it requires a server, which does the 
actual syncing. In addiiton SyncML doesn't define the actual syncing, e.g. 
algorithms to resolve conflicts.

I would see SyncML as a nice supplement for our syncing architecture, but not 
as a central piece.
