Not even that: since it's untagged (and it is untagged, the way you
describe it) then two people (developers) testing (developing)
different features will step on each other's toes.

What I "want" is irrelevant. It doesn't matter what I want, or what
you want, people will still do the same things no matter what your
intention or my intention is. So, basically, I'm just telling you
what will happen if this is implemented the way you describe. Because
it's what's happened every time something like this has been
implemented in any software system ever.

Whether the server side target is LSL or not, prim properties are
still serialized LSL lists.

Any client feature dealing with prim properties will be dealing with
serialized LSL lists.

The parameters set from build tools are also LSL lists.
