That should make some heads spin.

The cross-platform-ness of the CouchDB server implies that you might
replicate a shared database onto each workstation that accesses it.
What I don't see from the initial documentation and demos is a writeup
of how the bi-directional sync works, and whether it can be manually
triggered ("sync database now") from within an app.

Very cool, though. It seems like you could mix in some xml db
functionality, too, like creating a view of all of the links in a
collection of documents.
