 > So my thought is, implement a **default** permalink structure, but if a
 plugin author wants it to be something else, that should be do-able (e.g.
 replace the default entirely with something custom, via a hook:
 'custom_[type]_permalink' or somesuch.)

 Definitely, a plugin should be able to override but as it seems you agree
 a default structure managed by core minimizes potential for conflict.

 type. A plugin should only create its own post_types and manage only the
 url structures for those post_types. I don't know of a reason a plugin
 should mess with post_types it didn't create.

 that conflict with each other.  They wouldn't have to be for the same post
 type necessarily.

 Exactly.
