I have an unusual use case that I am considering.  In our app, we download 
PDFs to the device which, for legal reasons, we may never be allowed to 
store on our servers.  We would like to sync the metadata for these PDFs, 
so that a user can see the list of PDFs that they have looked at on any of 
their devices.  I see that there is a "Deferred Attachment Downloading" 
page on the iOS Wiki.  Am I crazy to consider keeping the PDF as an 
attachment in the local database which is never uploaded?  You get the 
possibility that the producer of the PDFs will change the PDF, and then the 
SHA that is propagated isn't correct for what might be on the device.  Of 
course, we could then let the user know that it has updated...

Upon reflection, I think I *am* crazy, but I'm interested if anyone has 
thoughts about keeping attachments which will never be synced.  Also, is 
deferred attachment downloading still on the table for version 1.2?
