I'm not sure what do you mean by "different platform", so I'll take
another route.

"Plucker documents" have special format called "Plucker
DataBase" (PDB), which is standardized in the sense a publicly
accessible specification of this file format is available.
Plucker desktop is just a program to distill HTML documents to plucker
databases, and SunriseXP is just another program to do the same thing.
That is, both tools procuce documents in the same format.

What I meant saying that documents produced by these programs may
differ, is that, say, SunriseXP is known to color unreachable (not
distilled) links in a document in red, while the "native" Plucker
distiller colors them "as is". I think it's better to just try it out
on sample documents and see.

Also, I never used "synchronisation" facilities of either piece of these
software, though, so I'm not up to the task of comparing this aspect of
their work (I just copy the generated files to a SD card and insert
it back to the handheld).
