Sounds good.

The answer to that somewhat depends on our implementation choices are in the 
short term, and how much they dictate engineering direction. If we shipped a 
Sync-based solution, it would involve some surgery and broken assumptions to 
treat the server as anything other than a dumb whiteboard, and difficulty 
increases with nuance!

As you know, I've been talking through a path that would get us from hither to 
thon; that would buy us the opportunity to easily change the behavior. More 
later.
