lesbentley: Great idea, but I tend to be a bit reluctant to put extra complexity into the base cr2 because it might be used. That's the kind of thing DAZ et al need to do because they make it so hard to redistribute modified versions of their models.
With Antonia, there are no restrictions whatsoever for changing the cr2 to ones heart's content and sharing the results. In addition, I am in the process of writing a cr2 manipulation library that will make it easier even for people with no intimate knowledge of Poser file formats to add or remove channels and things like that.
So my general policy for such things would be to wait and see what people do with the figure and then add builtin support for the most popular cases.
