I think this sounds correct in the long run, but I'm a bit worried  
about adding work at this stage in the game for preview. While I'm  
sure the code would actually shrink, as this seems simpler, it would  
also require another round of running through the code and working  
out the various implications and implementation details. I'm  
certainly not afraid of this work, and given the likely performance  
improvements I think it would be fun and satisfying, but I am  
concerned about adding another 3-5 days worth of work on this end.

Also probably correct in the long run, but I just want to make sure  
that setting preferences as part of the signup POST doesn't get  
dropped on the floor for 0.7. Putting it on the chopping block is  
fine in my book, but the floor would be a bad place to be ;)
