One of the problems I have with the argument Ryan presents concerning
API contracts and breakage is that "API contract" Ryan talks about is to
the best of my knowledge undocumented, it's a API "convention" observed
by a select group of developers "in the know". I don't see anything
about a token plus colon prefix in the documentation:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/NSS/SSL_functions/pkfnc.html#1035673
If the API does not have documented behavior constraints then you can't
be causing a API breakage.
P.S.: CERT_FindCertByNickname is also undocumented. Nor is there any
documentation on the syntax of nicknames in Cert DB.
