Hi Kurt,
I haven't been following it either, and wouldn't recommend putting such
files in the preferences folder (since as you pointed out, they aren't
the same). Perhaps in a presets folder within the components folder?
In any case, my only thought based on just about no reading of the
thread was that if it's a plist name it a .plist. If it's a preset file
name it a .preset file :) That's what file extensions are for.

I haven't really been following this discussion closely, but this
seems like a really bad idea. .plist is TOO general. It's already in
use in a number of completely different contexts (in the persistent
storage for CFPreferences, and inside app and bundle wrappers, just
for starters). There are already more than 5000 .plist files on my
machine, and none of them are AU presets.
A specialized extension would also allow icons to be assigned to
preset files, and for the usual linking of files to applications to
happen.
Also, in Open dialogs, it's much easier and MUCH faster to filter by
file type/extension than to open and read every single file in a
directory.
