Generally, 2 simple numbers. One of them does tend to recur often, true, but 
may not in any given case.

Works for me.  The thing we give to an app is just a unique
bunch of bits anyway.  Both ie and digitalme use 1024 bit
keys.  So translates to 256 bytes binary and about 350 in base64.

Should make processing on the app easier as well, since the
'value' is a simple number (long one) and not xml.
