This all sounds like variations of the kinds of things we talked a bit
about when we created the management-client-content branch of the
management resource tree. Where we currently store rollout plans. That
stuff doesn't get persisted to the xml config (because it isn't part of
the server side configuration) but it does get stored in the content repo.
OTOH I think using server-side *system properties* to store client side
values has a really bad smell.
A bit more below...

Variables can also be set in the beginning of a script. Although, I can
see advantages of keeping them out and simply relying on certain
variables in a script.

That is indeed useful. BTW, don't we have aliases in the management
model that could also be used for this?
Management model aliases are static. They are used to provide backwards
compatibility when we rename a resource or attribute.
