 ** search suggest has global preferences associated with it. to sync or not to sync?
 *** and if so, should it go in the preferences engine, or in this one? I'm inclined to think it matters even if engines are not synced

 ** can i dump the json content back into the data store *without* the xml?
 ** design pondering
-*** Should this be like tabs and a one-record /client
-*** or breakdown the table's multiple entry, grab the json and make it one record per 3rd party (but what about ordering of defaults?)
-*** treat the table & the json as entirely separate things, essentially two record types? tis not really the sync way and I do not even know if it is feasible
-*** do i extract the values of the json blob and rebuild it on the client, or send the thing over the wire wholesale?
