Adding specs and assets now

No blockers other than flu

Sync (:rnewman)

Got a rudimentary SyncAdapter implemented — fetches Sync info/collections, meta/global, your keys, unpacks them, and applies server bookmarks to the local device. Next up is proper two-way syncing, history, and such.

On my plate: feedback on sriram and lucasr’s code.

Ping on IRC if you have questions or want me to join the call.
