Actually I think that would make quite a lot of sense.
Not everyone synchronizes with a dedicated server, a special resource could 
very well treat the device as a "remote backend" 

Another option for synchroniziing directly to a device is to use a sync 
solution, e.g. provide a device transport/backend for syncevolution.
