Mat, I totally agree. That is why I though about a standard way to create config tiddlers. Each config tiddler could include a caption and description and a field containing its possible values (actually a filter). If you open a config tiddler View template would popup on config tiddlers allowing you to select from the possible values.
However an info panel and/or control panel could search for config tiddlers so setup and display the caption, current value, the description, a value selector and link to open the config tiddler all on a single view. Any user plugin or designer can follow the same config tiddler standard eg $:/config and above and the configuration setting will be listed in the control panel page. A Utility macro will allow <<config-setting configtiddler>> to present the value selection anywhere the user or plugin designer wants.
