Comment (by dmsnell):

 To leave a quick note here, since writing my previous comments I've come
 to like this idea even more, because it's not just other WordPress sites
 that might be clients of a synchronizing database.  There are plenty of
 other "clients" in WordPress that would all benefit from such a state-
 tracking table, a //best effort// and //conservative// resource update
 tracker.

  - Site page caches which rely on knowing which posts have changed.
  - Database migrations of old post structures that may need to track which
 posts have been migrated, as well as re-migrate posts that were updated
 since the migration.
  - More robust search plugins which want to maintain an index of post
 content, and efficiently stay updated when posts change.
  - RSS feed generators which want to report on the newest posts and
 updates.

 Basically anything that relies on presenting a timeline of changes or
 respond to changes on a site could become an independent "client" of the
 sync protocol and use the WP CRON system or any other system to
 efficiently maintain indices and updates and caches.
