Standard practice or not, this begs the question of whether it should be allowed at all. I would argue against it: * security issue * silent fails mask unexpected behavior However, adding *new* members doesn't, to my knowledge, present a security risk. As a comparison, MSH allows new members and aliases to be overlayed on top of existing types, but I don't know whether or not it chokes when attempting to override an existing member. It may be worthwhile to agree with the MSH team on a strategy.

An example:
