Agreed, Bill. An anchor for persistent data is the application, and name/token services is the "right" answer. For very small amounts of data, though, it just seems like overkill.
Name/token works for both large and small amounts of data. For large amounts of data, the token is a pointer and maybe some flags. For small amounts of data, the token itself *is* the data (up to 16 bytes).
