Can you see your CalDAV calendars when you're offline in iCal? I'm
wondering if the distinction you're describing is lost on most end-
users. Is there alternative terminology you have in mind?

"sync" is not the correct word to describe a CalDAV client's
interaction with the server. "sync" means that the client makes a
series of local changes and then later synchronizes its state with
that of the server. what really happens, with Lightning, Sunbird, and
iCal 3, is that when a change is made in the client, the change is
sent directly over to the server. when the view is updated (scrolling
between weeks, for instance), the client performs a query against the
server. the client probably does some caching, but this is transient
data that can be blown away without any data loss, as opposed to a
syncing client's local repository, which is a "source of truth" until
the next sync.
