+    key). To get a suitable add-on ID, append '@jetpack' to this string.
+    """
+    # per https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Install_Manifests#id all XPI id
+    # values must either be in the form of a 128-bit GUID (crazy braces
+    # and all) or in the form of an email address (crazy @ and all).
+    # Firefox will refuse to install an add-on with an id that doesn't
+    # match one of these forms. The actual regexp is at:
+    # http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/mozapps/extensions/internal/XPIProvider.jsm#130
+    # So the JID needs an @-suffix, and the only legal punctuation is
+    # "-._". So we start with a base64 encoding, and replace the
+    # punctuation (+/) with letters (AB), losing a few bits of integrity.
+
+    # even better: windows has a maximum path length limitation of 256
+    # characters:
+    #  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365247%28VS.85%29.aspx
+    # (unless all paths are prefixed with "\\?\", I kid you not). The
+    # typical install will put add-on code in a directory like:
+    # C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\232353483.default\extensions\$JID\...
+    # (which is 108 chars long without the $JID).
+    # Then the unpacked XPI contains packaged resources like:
+    #  resources/$JID-api-utils-lib/main.js   (35 chars plus the $JID)
+    #
+    # We create a random 80 bit string, base64 encode that (with
+    # AB instead of +/ to be path-safe), then bundle it into
+    # "jid1-XYZ@jetpack". This gives us 27 characters. The resulting
+    # main.js will have a path length of 211 characters, leaving us 45
+    # characters of margin.
+    #
+    # 80 bits is enough to generate one billion JIDs and still maintain lower
+    # than a one-in-a-million chance of accidental collision. (1e9 JIDs is 30
+    # bits, square for the "birthday-paradox" to get 60 bits, add 20 bits for
+    # the one-in-a-million margin to get 80 bits)
+
