Comment:

 As far as what to show, I'm torn.  Our palette spec allows for two lines
 of text inside the primary rollover.  Links in general will probably have
 a primary rollover with (title, url).  On the other hand, most objects
 shared in trays will have a primary rollover containing (title, owner).
 This gives us (title, ????) for the shared links.  I'm actually hesitant
 to use the URL, since they can be quite long, and also because we actually
 choose to omit the actual URL string in the browser URL field except when
 typing it in.  It's more consistent with that idea to use the title
 instead, even though it might be slightly less specific.

 I'm going to vote for (title, owner) as the best way to go for now, and
 we'll see how well it works in practice.

 I think we can omit the labels;  They should be clear enough without them.
 I suppose something like "Shared by Simon" would be OK, but it's not
 necessary.  Let's err on the side of less verbosity and not include any
 labels or prefixes for now.
