Question:
What is the difference between 'nonVolatile(3)'
and 'permanent(4)' in the StorageType syntax ?

permanent is read-only, nonVolatile is read-write (and persist).

Permanent is used to indicate rows which can not be delete, but still have
some settable properties. something like a hardware port should probably be
permanent. in contrast nonVolatile rows can be deleted.

Of course! That was the thing I was missing.
Presumably they should both retain any changes
across an agent restart?

I don't suppose there's a style (or a need?)
for a storage type of "allow changes, but revert
to defaults on restart"

Yes, as does readOnly.

I guess 'other' would fit the bill, if documented in the DESCRIPTION.
