If anyone ever wrote a CalDAV-to-SyncML or MorseCode-to-SyncML bridge,
we would instantly have 2-way synchronization to hundreds of mobile
devices and other platforms (there are SyncML plugins for Outlook, for
instance).  I'd proposed a couple years ago that OSAF sponsor $10k-odd
bounty for such a product; it'd still rock.

ScheduleWorld can work outside Chandler by providing things like contact
synchronization, which given no direct contact support in the Chandler
ecosystem, can be a welcome addition to a full solution.

ScheduleWorld and other SyncML providers (there's actually a few free
providers like ScheduleWorld) can 2-way synchronize a number of
calendars, which can also be 1-way overlaid via ICS-subscribe into
Chandler of course.

Yes, it could provide similar functionality as that.  Some Google mobile
synchronizers (like GooSync) use SyncML as the transport as well, so
they can get the additional platform/network benefits of SyncML as well
(like Outlook), etc.
