I'm talking about how it will work when we add conflict resolution.

A "conflict" is defined as a remote change I download when I have  
local changes that I haven't yet sent (and the changes are  
overlapping, and not the same value).  In the case we're talking  
about, the Chandler user has *already* sent their changes; the  
Chandler user has no outstanding local changes that haven't been sent  
to the server.  Now if the Cosmo UI user overwrites the title without  
seeing the change the Chandler user uploaded, and Chandler then  
syncs, to Chandler there is no conflict because the Chandler user has  
no local changes.  There is nothing to be in conflict with.  The  
Cosmo UI change is applied locally to Chandler.
