I need to think about this, as it does sound like more complexity.

Actually, if this were a problem in practice today, would we _really_
know about it, or would it just be chalked up as one of those weird
things that happens sometimes where something doesn't work for a user,
the helpdesk is clueless, and it fixes itself when the home client is
rebooted (hey, must just have been an windows problem)?

I do think we need to make our protocols fairly rock solid. Given how
this is core infrastructure, it just has to work. All the time.
