It's definitely better than the facter version, but not without flaws.  One
interesting aspect is that the client could resolve any that it understood
locally and just any others literally, giving the client the opportunity to
resolve them client side.

What about the other permutations?  E.g., environment is always determined
by the server unless it's given a special "let the client decide"
value--problematic for client side command-line override but nice in some
other regards.
