"mini-agent" doesn't include AgentX support - just the ones that I
listed yesterday.

Correct.

No idea.
I've no plans to work on it - if somebody else submits the code, then
it'll be implemented.
If they don't, it won't.

Bottom line - if you need certain functionality badly enough, perhaps
you should consider doing the work yourself.

I'm sorry - that doesn't make sense.
If a certain management object can only have a single value, then it's a scalar.
If it can have several values, then it's probably part of a table.

Registration priority doesn't enter into it - the scalar/table
structure depends *purely* on the characteristics of that particular
object.

The other option would be to look at contexts - that's another way to
have parallel versions of the same (scalar or table) values.  But
priorities are a complete irrelevance, IMO.
