Leo has *lots* of nodes that are bookkeeping, including all settings nodes, @button nodes, @chapters, etc. etc. etc. There is no real alternative: it would be a nightmare to store persistence data as uAs, for several reasons: - The data would not be human readable. - The code would have to treat persistence uAs differently from normal uAs. The Leonine way is to use uA's only for special purposes. It would be quite wrong, imo, to use uAs as hidden notes or to contain most other valuable data. Almost by definition, valuable data should be contained in visible nodes. Yes, there could be exceptions, but they truly *are* exceptions.
