Did you read the complete documentation? I tried to be as clear as
possible (as far this is working in a foreign language) to allow other
developers easy understanding of the concept. If you think that
something is not clear enough please give me a hint (capter and topic
whould be helpful). 

I know, this document consists of 20 pages of theory but I think this
is necessary with such a complex topic (as you know: "proper planing
prevents piss pour performance").

Of course I am interested in all source code regarding synchronisation
support. But I don't think, that a coldsync conduit written in perl
will help that much at the moment. The reason for this (and possible
solutions) are described in chapter 1.6.1.1 and chapter 1.6.1.2.

All relevant links from this site you can find in the link section of
your document, sorted and annoted.

I had a look throuh it. It is not much that will help us, badly.

We will use the already available XML-RPC implementation from 0.9.16.
