i've committed a first draft [1]. please take a look and jump in with
comments, criticism or improvements. i've suggested that URI
namespaced keys are used for no very good reason. i'll start working
on a reference implementation (probably just something file based)
this weekend if no one comes up with anything better.

i think that it'd be a good idea to allow larger documents to be
associated with users through this interface. these would use
InputStream (or ByteChannel) rather than serialisation. either the
owner of the key would need to be able to rely on a particular charset
or MIME meta-data could be associated. a typical use case i have in
mind for this is to allow a more flexible method of storage of the
sieve configuration.

opinions?
