What "magic bytes"? The only "magic bytes" I can think of that the client shouldn't 
know about are the PAgM. If InvertPrivateKey doesn't return this, then some people 
should be whipped, and it should be changed or a better command introduced and the 
original deprecated.
Then it would be: "SSK@" + publicKey + "/path" [ + "//subpath" ]

Clients *shouldn't* be converting private keys into public ones.  The
reason being that they should be using the return value of ClientPut
as the URI, not pasting one together out of the public key and some
magic bytes.
