Hi

1. Would putting a flag on the raw tag be useful, allowing them to be 
easily verified so they conform to the wiki set of tags?

2. When it's rolled out will there be an XML file per editor, which is 
stored on their computer or one for everybody?

3. Could you explain what a property editor is compared to a preset?

Cheers
