Here's a first clue that doesn't concern the SyncML part but the 
MobileMe Pubsub mail notifications 
<http://samj.net/2008/07/apple-iphone-20-real-story-behind-push.html>.

All this makes think that not only there could be SyncML calendar events

published with PEP, but also mail notifications and by extensions 
voicemail and fax notifications (with a derived version of 
draft-ietf-sieve-notify-xmpp - actually this draft should use PEP, IMHO,

but I disgress).

Regarding the SyncML synchronization mechanism, not sure there's any 
public documentation yet.
