Lyndon,
There’s no official support for publishing parameter groups at this time.
However, I’m told there is a way to do it by hand-editing the .moef file,
though I’ve never done it myself. Perhaps someone else on the list could point
out how it works?
The second issue may be a bug. I’ll need to ask design about that. It may be
that allowing plug-ins to change the UI without the user’s consent is not
supported because that would be surprising to users, but I’m not sure.
