To do that, the configuration manager must know any possible configuration option. so i think it's a good idea to make the configuration manager-based. each manager has a seperate entry with some sub-entries.

Careful! If the configuration is HTML based, and then it uses something
like "config://mail?identity=squiz@clara.net" then don't forget any web
page can also do the same - easiest solution would be to ignore config:
url's from networked pages.
