Wouldn't it be better, to use some other mechanism to make an offline 
mode optional? When I think about a company network, most clients will 
always be online and some few Laptops are "one the road", so most won't 
need have everything offline. I think about something like the Mozilla 
feature for IMAP folders to make them available offline.

How do you sync this?
Is it really neccessary to work with multiple clients simultamously? 
Where would I need support for this?
