Attachment: Patch, v1

This is the approach that khuey and I discussed at the B2G work week that simplifies the existing code (from bug 806503) quite a bit. All the tests look good and try server was happy last week (running again now just to make sure). I really don't want this patch to rot so let's get it in soon.

Try looks happy still.

This is the original patch but hg merge troubles have made it a little strange. I'll point out the non-relevant bits.

I think we should remove support for sending mystery blobs from child to parent. Followup bug though.

I'll just whine a bit about how this name is all wrong and how we should use something better. But I can't think of a better name.

I don't think so.
