I just realized... One issue with DescriptionList is that the OpenFlight plugin uses it for Comment record data. This is really only a problem if you load a FLT file, store the record type in the DescriptionList, and then export it back out. Your record type data would then be exported as comment records, which is probably not what you want.
I don't really see this as a showstopper issue though. Go for it.

Hmm, I never noticed the "DescriptionList" feature before -- I presume DescriptionList gets saved to and loaded from .osg and .ive files? That would simplify some other work I did to add custom attributes to nodes (which I acomplished using UserData, but it is a bit more complicated). I will take a look at the OpenFlight importer.
