Because the caching logic is not identical; hash-forms are global,  
rather than client-specific.  If Psi and Exodus have precisely the  
same capabilities, they will generate the same hash and I should not  
need to re-query it, even if they have different caps nodes.

That said, I think we can come up with some simpler logic.  If a  
given token is prefixed with 'h$', for instance, we know it's a hash  
and should be both validated against the result, and -- if it matches  
-- cached globally instead of per-client.  But for backwards  
compatibility, a disco on node#h$<hash> would still give you the  
proper results, and COULD be cached on a per-client basis.
