Hello all,

I just wrote my first script that makes use of the label property of page items.
This version of the script just overrides and deletes the label, which made me wonder:

What if some other tool used the labels?

It would be reasonably easy to just append my data to the label with some characters that make it possible to re-read the correct data.
Does this make sense?
Is there some established policy how two scripts/plugins should share the label-space?

Thank you
Gerald
