Scratch that. App::Message will go back to messaging. I'll make an
XMLContainer (what kit? hrrrm), that subclasses TypedDataContainer (the
BMessage Findfoo() API). AppPreferences() will simply return a
NamedDataContainer, which will probably be an XMLContainer, but could
be an IO::Node, IO::Resources, or App::Message.
