I think with all the comments we have a good start to what it *should* be.
I agree with you bob, that we don't want the API to work based on what the 
device is, but rather an "abstraction of fixes" so to speak.

However, using the device identity could still work ok for this... we've 
been throwing around a locale-like method of finding the dataset for a 
specific problem.
Although i understand the desire to test for a capability, I think that you 
can get enough detail on a specific implementation (including os build and 
carrier) that you can make the whole thing much lighter than if you were to 
run a bunch of test code.

That not to say that you never want to... IMO we want to use whatever the 
best method is of determining a capability.

Anyway, I certainly think there is room for discussion, and I think it 
should be assumed that prior to first release, we'll refactor the code over 
and over again :)
