 ### Param configuration
 
-Sync's configuration is divided into 2 sets of operations: input and output.  
-Input params are used for `GET` requests. Output params are used for `POST`, `PUT`, and `DELETE` requests.
+Sync accepts configuration via tags corresponding to HTTP methods: `<get>`, `<post>`, `<put>`, and `<delete>`. Params can then be passed to Sync as DOM children of those nodes.
 
 Params were designed to give the developer full flexibility over crafting the request arguments. With this in mind the param options were divided into:
 
-* queryParam -- name value pair objects used to generate the queryString
-* urlParam -- name only strings concatenated with '/' to generate a URL
-* headers -- name value pairs used to send additional metadata (CSRF, etc) to the webserver
+* queryParam&thinsp;&mdash;&thinsp;name value pair objects used to generate the queryString
+* urlParam&thinsp;&mdash;&thinsp;name only strings concatenated with '/' to generate a URL
+* headers&thinsp;&mdash;&thinsp;name value pairs used to send additional metadata (CSRF, etc) to the webserver
 
-The 'direction' of input or output is relative to the component itself, so when you are pulling data from the server via a get, we consider that 'input' to the component, and the reverse is true for saving/deletion operations.

-### Input param example
+### GET example
 
 ```html
 <mm-sync endpoint="http://example.com">
-	<input-params>
+	<get>
 		<queryParam name="q" value="123"/>
 		<urlParam>123</urlParam>
 		<header name="X-Some-Header">HeaderValue</header>
-	</input-params>
+	</get>
 </mm-sync>
 ```
 
-This will generate a URL for the request of `http://example.com/123/?q=123` and it will send an X-Some-Header: HeaderValue to the server with the request. Note that it is possible to either use a value attribute or to just place the value inside the body of a named node. These formats may be used interchangeably.

 		<header name="X-CSRF-Header">48ccbaffbb0675f2a</header>
-	</output-params>
+	</post>
 </mm-sync>
 ```
 
-Note that we use the urlParam twice--this may be done for any set of params N number of times as appropriate. Params are parsed top down for API's where the order matters.

 ## Working with 2-way binding
 
-To support 2-way binding in a scenario using mm-sync we have created the `auto` param. Auto tells mm-sync to respond automatically to data or param changes and make additional requests to sync the data back to the server. Auto may be set via JS or via HTML as an attribute.  Auto has 3 possible values:

Auto tells mm-sync to respond automatically to data or param changes and make additional requests to sync the data back to the server. Auto may be set via JS or via HTML as an attribute.  Auto has 3 possible values:
 
-*  true `boolean` -- bidirectional sync input/output for any changes
-*  load `string`-- only sync data in from server when input params change
-*  save `string` -- only sync data in from the server when the data property detects a change-- note that due to polymer 1.0 data binding limitations you must manually tell polymer that the data has changed using `set`

-When the lightDOM queryParam values are changed via 2-way binding, the sync component will pick this up and trigger the requisite `GET` calls to retrieve this query from the server.  Note that this input is automatically debounced against keyboard input. If necessary you may vary this timing via the `autoDebounce` property. The default is 200ms.
