as a follow up to this - would it be possible to use the phrases I describe below as entity keys so that I could just use the getbykey method rather than querying for each phrase to see if it exists in the Datastore? If so, does anyone know the limitations on keys - how long can they be and can they contain special characters like "" ) etc...?
