+    A conduit is a piece of code in charge of
+
+    - updating an object attributes from an XUpdate XML stream
+
+    (Conduits are not in charge of creating new objects which
+    are eventually missing in a synchronisation process)
+
+    If an object has be created during a synchronisation process,
+    the way to proceed consists in:
+
+    1- creating an empty instance of the appropriate class
+      in the appropriate directory
+
+    2- updating that empty instance with the conduit
+
+    The first implementation of ERP5 synchronisation
+    will define a default location to create new objects and
+    a default class. This will be defined at the level of the synchronisation
+    tool
+
+    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXx
+    Look carefully when we are adding elements,
+    for example, when we do 'insert-after', with 2 xupdate:element,
+    so adding 2 differents objects, actually it adds only XXXX one XXX object
+    In this case the getSubObjectDepth(), doesn't have
+    too much sence
+    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
+
+    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
+    There is also one problem, when we synchronize a conflict, 
+    we are not waiting
+    the response of the client, so that we are not sure if it take into account,
+    we may have CONFLICT_NOT_SYNCHRONIZED AND CONFLICT_SYNCHRONIZED
