Wow. This post sends my head off in a dozen different directions; I'll try to stick to the most important ones. (And I hope I've correctly understood the gist of the dilemma (dilemmae?) you face...) [ In retrospect, as I edit and re-edit, I realize that I've gradually homed in on what I think you're talking about... but bits of this were written when I was still hunting around trying to figure out what that was. So it will probably seem a bit uneven, but those bits seem too important to not say. ]
(And it turns out that this is over 4300 characters, so I'm gonna post the rest of it separately, as a reply to myself, and hope that it is small enough...)
