I'm seeing foaf out there with some mbox and some mbox_sha1sum. I've 
been effectively using mbox as the primary key to people but actually 
using the obfuscated version in mbox_sha1sum. So searching for whether 
I've seen a specific person requires building an array of any 
mbox_sha1sum found plus any mbox found after hashing them. I then 
iterate through the array looking for values in a person_mbox link 
table.

Which is all to say that mbox and mbox_sha1sum are interchangeable and 
refer to the same thing. So their definitions ought to be very similar.
