Yes you do. But so far as I know, each plugin has a single score set.
My point was that if a single plugin implemented the equivalent of a dozen
disparate rules, simply because that plugin could source the necessary data
transformation and the tests were grouped solely for efficiency rather than
logical grouping, then this single score set may be insufficient to properly
grade the disparate tests housed in the single plugin. Think of the
equivalent of having all rules on 'body' use a single common scoreset. I
think you would agree that was rediculous.
Thus my desire to have plugins (or 'whatevers') that could source persistant
transformations of an email and expose these transformations to external
tests. It decouples the scoring from the transformation plugin and
associates the scoresets with the individual rules that use that
transformation. Just as current scoresets are associated with individual
rules and not with the email parts like 'body' and 'header'.
Of course there is the argument that efficiency be damned, simply implement
every rule in its own plugin and do the same massive, slow, base
transformation required for each rule as you run the separate rules. I
suppose that might be considered acceptable.
