I think that's a reasonable thing in general.
I'm wondering how we still could deal with dynamnically produced AVPs
(i.e., those produced by loading from user profile). I think as long
as these are not referred from the script, it is okay, otherwise
they have to be declared. Modules exchanging info via AVPs don't
care about declaration.
