Will it support both slow and fast synchronization? I had considered
implementing SyncML client support for Opie a while ago, but the Opie
PIM API would not support keeping track of local changes, so each
synchronization would have to be done via slow sync and for that the
server needs to detect changes.

This is not listed in your list above; on the other hand, I am not sure
whether this wouldn't belong into the SyncML server on top of the 
library layers. In that case let me rephrase my question: will OpenSync
on top of libsyncml support a slow sync of contact and calender entries?

Regarding the Opie SyncML client, your libsyncml is one option.
The other, older (more mature?) option is the C++ Sync4j client
library (www.sync4j.org). I have not actually used that lib
because my initial attempts of just syncing my Sony Ericcson K750
with the Sync4j server failed:
  http://forge.objectweb.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=303703&group_id=96&atid=100096

That has dampened my enthusiasm a bit, especially because none
of the Sync4j developers has reacted. I hope OpenSync and libsyncml
will fare better; please, continue your effort and actually release
something that works, it is appreciated ;-)
