Yep, more or less. Some people might actually be more comfortable
editing splines as they have better editing properties (curve goes
through control points i think). The spline control points can then
easily be converted to bezier points.

I think it's a great way to do it. The way i did it in the "Network -
Buss" object is that the properties dialog has a 'number of xyz'
field. That is not really as usable.
I haven't thought much about any implementation details though.
