Mnenhy reads and writes RDF, both to modify the old-style chrome
registry (Mnenhy Chrome Manager) and to store custom data in custom rdf
files (mnenhy.rdf, mnenhy-folderstore.rdf).

Mnenhy reads and writes localstore.rdf data to manipulate the XUL
persistance data *during runtime* to temporarily change MailNews display.

How? Custom RDF layer (mnenhy-rdf.js), XUL templates.
Why? For one, because Mozilla used it (chrome.rdf et al.). OTOH, because
large amounts of data don't really fit into e.g. the preferences system.
