My operating assumption has been all along that Core Components is just
repository items (or opaque stuff, content whatever) as far as the registry
is concerned. Our slot mechanism gives them teh ability to customize our
metadata in RegistryEntry for CCs on a per instance basis. So in my mind
there has never been any other picture.

Is any one else confused?
