To clarify, current doc doesn't specify a full path for the config.xml, which I'll fix throughout. Safe to assume this issue applies to all features? When using the CLI to add/rm features, the one in the <app> dir is modified. But if you're using the SDK, isn't it the one in the www dir? I agree the two should be consistent. Otherwise wouldn't you experience problems using the CLI to bootstrap a project & add features, then hand it off to do further work within the SDK?
