There's just one problem with that and that problem is in the sync with Snow Leopard's extensible Sync Services. To-day, Calendar sync through MobileMe also syncs todos and notes. This means that if you sync OmniFocus tasks / actions with the built-in Sync Services [OmniFocus says 'iCal' but it works in the same way with other calendar applications like BusyCal and SOHO Organizer as they use the the Sync Services too] on Mac A the tasks will automatically propagate to Mac B. And syncing OmniFocus with the Sync Services on Mac B will then only give problems. Since there's no way in which OmniFocus on Mac B will recognize todos in the Sync Services on Mac B as the actions already synced on Mac A you will get problems, lots of problems. The tasks will namely be duplicated - lots of times.
Unfortunately, OmniFocus will automatically request a sync with 'iCal', the Sync Services, and it is still impossible to turn off that feature. But at least it doesn't yet perform the sync automatically [I've put on that feature on one of my Macs with a QuicKeys script triggered twice an hour].
