Hmm, a dilemma... In the short term, I actually do need to have the  
user choose between "Cosmo Sharing" and "DAV Sharing" when they're  
setting up their accounts, as the two forms of sharing are about to  
become very different beasts under the hood.  Perhaps we'll find the  
time to make it look like there is no distinction between the two  
types of sharing accounts, but for me to make progress on the new  
sharing framework I have to present them as separate account types  
for the time being.
