That does look like a good replacement for Multisync, but it doesn't
solve not being able to do multiple folders (specifically shared
calendars/tasks) - unless I'm missing something. In fact since SyncML
syncs to the default folder this will be the case for all SyncML
clients.

Has anyone looked at syncing against multiple calendars (could I simply
modify it to work through an array of calendar names set up in a SyncML
options area - or would this lead to non-unique ids?) Alternatively is
there any reason that I could not modify the backend to use
cal-[calendar name] connecting to [calendar name] instead of 'calendar'
connecting to the default calendar? I'm a perl coder mainly, but could
probably manage PHP at a push... But would appreciate anyone telling me
if what I'm thinking of doing is fundamentally flawed.
