Hmmm...
The way I read it, all but option 0 (my favorite!) don't include user
interaction in the save/load phase... in these proposals, this is
handled 'automagically' (yark). There was talk of putting multiple
presets into some opaque preferences file! And then talk of
'exporting' if you wanted to share them! Absurd!
But, if I read it wrong, and these schemes are only in _addition_ to
sensible preset management, then I guess I've got nothing against it.
Except that it's stupid.

Art, I don't see how any of the previous suggestions preclude a user
from
putting presets anywhere she wants. All we are talking about is
defining
a standard place where any app could look and expect to find presets.
And
conversely, a user who puts the preset files there could reasonably
expect
all AU host apps to look there and find the presets, automagically
(isn't
that nice?). But if the user don't want to put preset files there,
then
the user puts them elsewhere, and the OS doesn't go boom, so what's the
problem?
