Sorry?

The SyncML library has an abstracted backend support, so it should be  
usable by any software different than Horde.

> Support for detection and control of conflicts of synchronization;

It has conflict detection but no conflict solution. IIRC the current  
conflict policy is client wins, but it's going to be duplication, in  
the future.

Sorry?

Yes, it uses a fork of a pretty old version of the SyncML library.
