There doesn't seem to be a way to obtain a PluginDescriptor that the
RegistryWriter requires for saving.  Only InternalFactory can create
PluginDescriptor.  Factory creates PluginDescriptorModel.

	right.  This is a leveling problem.  The writer should be updated to work 
	in terms of Models and made public.  

	do you have any preferences for exposing the Writer object vs putting the 
	write() methods back on the individual Model objects?

	My preference is having write() method. No particular technical reason.

	Two options for implementing this.  One is to expose a plugin writer which is much like the 
	Factory.  Knows how to write each model object.  The other is to put a write() method on 
	each model object.

	My tendency is to put it in a writer.  This way people can uniformly use their own writer
	just as they can uniformly use their own factory.

	Look at making RegistryWriter public.
