Details

i.e. Thunderbird vs. Firefox may have rather different settings for many things we sync for Firefox.
Target Milestone: 1.3 → 2.0
To-do:

* Make the prefs GUID a hashed version of the appID (not _really_ a major deal, given http tells servers this info)
* Allow apps to specify an arbitrary root for the WEAVE_SYNC_PREFS value.  i.e. Firefox could have "browser.sync.prefs."
Summary: should sync prefs separately for different apps → support per-app pref sync
A hashed GUID isn't that much different from the plain GUID. Somebody that has access to people's list of pref guids would match for hash(guid) instead of plain guid.
Obviously, if we cared enough,  we'd need some sort of random salt for the hash. A straight SHA256 hash is just a waste of cycles. :)
Ugh, fwd duping
