It probably will be possible to implement this since we need to support
these kind of devices anyways. There a lot of devices out there where
the database is pulled completly from the device, synced locally and
then pushed onto the device again. Opie would be another example that
requires this handling.

Stay tuned for some more information on opensync soon. Right now im
writing my exams (the next one tomorrow to be precise :( I will be
finished on august 10th... so expect some more details after this date.
