Thanks Garkin, that you can agree
The unique namespace is the reason why I think this should be handled by a framework/library.
I just tested: Using a shared saved variable name in different addon manifests results in what I mentioned first: The content is redundant saved for each addon. Which could be problematic if one addon has been disabled for a while.
@circonian: The answer is: You can use data sharing addon (which is what you want to avoid) or a unique namespace in "ZO_Ingame_SavedVariables".
