Comment (by nickciske):

 I for one never imagined this would apply to built in post types -- just
 post types added by plugins and (shudder) themes.

 I'm not tied to a specific implementation -- more the idea that the plugin
 that registers a post type is not necessarily the final word and other
 plugins should be able to tweak/extend an already registered post type.
 The discrete approach sounds like more work but probably his the better
 route - filter the data upon "read" versus on "write".

 I'd love to contribute to this - it would be my first "code" contribution
 to core ;-)
