 field their Gravatar URL (currently displayed on front end), which will
 contains said hash (and be a grav :) ).

 There's a wrinkle here, technically — http://www.gravatar.com versus
 https://secure.gravatar.com. You could pick one based on whether the
 request (which presumably would support JSONP and also have Access-
 Control-Allow-Origin: *, for the purposes of JS use) is over SSL or not.
 Also note that "subdomain" could be www, 0, 1, etc. Core actually does
 toggle between 0 and 1, but that's likely not necessary here. Barry's
 preference is 0 over www. (Also note, sharding should not be used for SSL
 requests as the handshake is slower.)

 I just dealt with this for the plugins info endpoint but it should be a
 little easier as here you're not also trying to determine whether the
 admin is over SSL (not just the request).
