(Whiteboard: [sync:rigor][sync:scale])

Currently, the Firefox Sync client naively compares client and server-side timestamps. This is prone to errors due to clock drift/skew. We should employ a better mechanism for dealing with times. See also bug 720592, which is also related to better record reconciling.
