Details

(Whiteboard: [storage-api-addition?]) 

The server will restrict the size and characters of guids, so we'll need to generate a new one and update storage.

Target Milestone: --- → 2.0
Still relevant, anyone?
Somewhat. I think we should morph this bug into a tracking bug that ensures we only use base64url GUIDs in the future. I think the only engines that don't are forms (uses vanilla base64) and passwords (uses UUIDs *yuck*).
