IIRC, a couple of years back I planned to use custom properties for  
this sort of thing. As I remember it, that had to be ditched because  
custom properties ended up as plain text, easily readable by dropping  
the stack file on a text editor. I think we pulled the properties  
into script and populated them at runtime, which gave a marginally  
more secure feeling.

To this day I still don't know of a very good way to handle this in  
Rev produced apps. I'm all ears.
