-For 'dot not provide a hint', something about data locality *might* be good,
e.g. http://www.cs.rice.edu/Conferences/IPTPS02/169.pdf: 'This is not *always* a
good thing, but in Storm, this is a good, because...'

-For Gnutella-like clients, there are magnet-uris, which are used in Shareaza
(based on Gnutella2) and in few other clients. Additionally, edk2k and Overnet
also uses hash-links for data retrieval.

Btw, when I make comments on commits, should we first discuss these things on
the list, or, should I directly write these things into the text ?-)
