It sounds like I did not understand what a "single-value tag" meant in what

So you cannot replace the "ATHENA.MIT.EDU" setting in the "realms" section
because that is not a "single-value tag"?

In Windows, the way that settings normally (should) work is like this:  If a
setting is present in the user registry, use that.  Otherwise, try looking
for the setting in the system registry.  If it's not there either, use a
built-in default.  From what Ted was saying, it sounds like the profile
library cannot emulate that w/o the final signifier.  Is that correct?
