This is directly from subliun's pull request, discussed here:
https://github.com/Tox/Tox-Client-Standard/pull/21 . I've made no
changes, as I think the PR works fine as-is. It removes UI requirements
that have nothing to do with interoperability or security, and makes a
few small style corrections.

Vote to merge into master. All in favor, say "aye", all opposed say "nay".
