But you'd only have to do it manually from the property browser or
from telnet. In almost all cases it would be done from C++ or Nasal
via wrapper functions, so not exactly manual either.

But that's again the XML representation argument. As I said before,
while I'm not thrilled about it, it's not what worries me. You could
have a custom XML reader read that into three separate properties
without problems. Just look at YASim's XML reader or the AI code's.
What I find bad is the aggregate property type.

It's just that Curt referred to what you told him in private conversation
apparently as a base for his opinion about the matter. And I think that
others could use that same information as well to form theirs. Unless
there's stuff that only Curt should know about it, of course.  ;-)
