IMHO the daemon should not be desktop dependent either. Because it will
have the core sync engine.
Sure the GUI would.

The idea is to be able to remote-sync bookmarks beetween computer. For
example sync office PC bookmarks with home PC. 

This is what Apple iCal 1.1 does, using a tiers server: .Mac (it is a
paying service).

For that, we'd need:

1/ replacement for .Mac synchronization. A simple WebDAV server could be
fine as it is meant to store data like on a PDA.

2/ a bookmark conduit. Whether bookmark storage is standard or not is
not really our business, but surely it would help not duplicating
conduits.

Anyway this is only ideas.
