I'm wondering if we could let CM store local-alias on disk for protocols that
cannot store online.

I see in the spec of Contact_Metadata_Storage_Type:
"""
To make it easier to deal with such protocols, if clients set metadata on a
contact who is not in the required state, the Connection MUST cache the
metadata for the duration of the session. If clients request the attributes of
that contact after the appropriate "set" method has returned successfully, the
Connection MUST return the new (cached) value.
"""

This session cache could be extended to a permanent disk cache? It MUST do in
memory cache, but COULD do on disk cache. Does that sounds sane?
