OK. So maybe the browser integration for this, or at least the 
groundwork for it, is what our SoC project should be. Particularly if 
you have Apache modules that work already.

See
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Community:SummerOfCode09:WebPagesOverRsync
for where we are at the moment. We are getting incredible amounts of 
interest in this project - more than all the others combined. It seems 
like an idea whose time has come.
