oh my, now that is one not what I gathered from the doc and prior
use...
one set of api calls requires that :userid is the caller (I guess they
are pre-oauthcalypse) and the lists ones are not.
I can see why it would be that way from a REST point of view if I tilt
my head a bit - but yea, some rewording of the doc page is definitely
in order :)
