In cases where it works, sync is easier for the client, but I think we  agree 
that it cannot be made robust in the general case. Async handles the general 
case; this is why async is required. For the small extra work and utility, it 
was deemed it simpler for everyone if sync was also required (plus the oddity 
about VOSI requests noted above).
