Hi Dwight. I was gone all weekend but finally got a (brief) chance to read through your reply.
In short, I really don't know how modification times effect things, other than I'm pretty sure both platforms use them for conflict resolution. I do believe that any time a task is marked as modified it will get synced, irrelevant of how old the time is. But I've not seen a case where a parent is marked as modified based on a child attribute change, unless the automatic sync is triggered -- but that doesn't mean it won't happen. You know, I've been thinking about how several of us have suggested a new feature for the desktop where different actions can be triggered based on different criteria. I'm now thinking the sync architecture would have to be improved before this feature could be implemented, since it would really bring existing problems to the fore.
