Too bad it isn't easy to get statistics on actual usage - how many  
users change which options how often.  Anyway - that's the sort of  
logic I'd use - not so much basic vs. advanced, but likely to be needed  
vs. more obscure for less common situations.  It may not help greatly,  
but it's a context in which to think about it, at least.
