I still think it is correct to save only overridden/changed properties, even
for
classes. Think of the equivalent in pure-python code. You don't see:
class MyTextBox(dabo.ui.dTextBox):
def initProperties(self):
self.FontUnderline = False
self.FontBold = False
self.Height = 18
...
...because you want the defaults from the superclass to apply. Now, if the user
of
the ClassDesigner explicitly sets FontUnderline to False, then of course it
should
save to the cdxml because they explicitly overrode the default.

Yes, perhaps we should add a ticket to discuss this.
