Sending the template (like we're doing now) would be an option. If
you're not happy with that, we could do something like Zeitgeist
itself uses: automatically assigned unique identifiers (be it a
number, or whatever).

The problem I see with clients supplying a name is that it just seems
too random to me. How are they supposed to choose a name? If I was to
write some application using the proposed API, I'd probably end up
just using "<my-application's-name>-<current timestamp>" or something
like that and hope it isn't already in use.

Bug description:
  Guys, GetBlacklist and SetBlacklist (without any signals) for an asynchrounous-by-nature API? Come on!

How about changing it to Get, Add, Remove and a changed signal? That way it'd be actually usable...
