The problem I wanted to address is the need that some people will want to do Moko-specific stuff. For these, it would be nice to have a way to discover with a relevant probability that it's correct, if a given user is a Moko user. Actually, it's harder, because you probably should have a token profile, because not every moko on this planet will have the same features/apps :(
