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.
