This series is shaping up nicely.  The one thing I think it would
benefit from, being a new common framework is something under
Documentation giving a brief overview, but more importantly some 
example code snippets of a mailbox client using the API, and maybe an
example usage of the controller API as well.

Not only will that guide developers who want to use/implement this API
on their platforms, it will also aid reviewers.

Thanks,

Kevin
