It would be awesome if NewtSync could be a Sync Services client. I
get the impression that it would be quite a complex undertaking, if
it's possible at all, due to the way NewtSync communicates with its
counterpart package on the Newton, and the slight differences in
capability between, for example, iCal and Dates.

It's a good long-term goal, but I for one wouldn't feel qualified to
take it on yet. I would need to know a lot more about Newton guts
and Sync Services than I do now.

But yeah, Sync Services plus something DCL-based would be dreamy.
