Actually, I'd like to see us add more per-node settings:
1. Show 'submitted by' link. 2. Show printer-friendly link. 3. Show avatar.

*Ugh* Why do we need per node settings for this? I think that per node-type settings are good enough in 90% of all cases. This will just add another annoying select widget of which we already have too many. If you are user No. 1 and have enabled a bunch of modules the node/add/foo screen needs a myriad of tabs till you finally get to the submit button. No thanks. Less is more. Does anybody recall this?
That's a per-option discussion, but being able to use the options section generically is handy. It actually reduces clutter by consolidating options in one place. Or it hides it entirely from non- node-admin users. I happen to be storing my option in a separate table, which is already expensive because it adds another query to the load operation. Node-level options abstracted from the node table may help overall. Allie Micka pajunas interactive, inc. http://www.pajunas.com scalable web hosting and open source strategies
