Custom props are certainly useful, but more so if the user knows what's 
happening.

In the standalone builder I'm making it also uses a single custom 
property, but before it's added it notifies the user and asks 
permission, or lets the user save the metadata to a file.  For all 
subsequent runs once the property has been added it no longer asks.

Not all circumstances allow such flexibility, but at least letting the 
use know is a step in the right direction (and of course refraining from 
all use of custom props where any alternative will work, such as 
colorizing on the fly rather than cashing a huge htmlText version of the 
script).
