random perturbations to remove things like hysteresis, or using the
finite steps as a bang-bang servo?

Not random, but a PWM like control to get better precision from a given granularity. If a device only has whole number steps (1,2,3...), and you want something in between, then you dither it. If you want 1.6, have it spend 40% of its time at 1, and 60% at 2. Nothing random about it.

What's "bang-bang servo?" (other than a techno band - http://www.myspace.com/bangbangservo )
