Comment (by nacin):

 The only stuff in comment:3 we don't currently use in any way is "Network"
 (true/false), TextDomain and DomainPath (both short strings), and
 Description.

 The API uses a set of heuristics involving a number of fields (anything I
 didn't mention above). This is why I wouldn't want to reduce the data sent
 — with enough data available to us, we can continue to make it smarter in
 the future. (At most, the Description field is unnecessary and is probably
 the most bytes in a request, but that doesn't mean we can't do fuzzy
 matching on that, either.)
