Would it be worth it to have variables for different avatar blendshapes (for body shape, not things like face tracking or visemes)?
After experimenting I found it useful for syncing them between meshes but it could also be used for applying those blendshapes to any separate clothing too.

: I don't think those should be part of Avatar Standard. (Even if in theory a good idea). Imo AVI-S should only include variables that can be universal between Avatars.
: But having those variables on the "Avatar/" namespace should be fine. Systems that know those vars /are made for the avatar could take advantage of those blend shape vars.
: I for example use Variables on the Kitavali ears to reference the Dynamic bone Chains for detecting if they are grabbed trough a system.

:: I'd argue that it already contains things that can't be universal, e.g. original bone names (which was part of what inspired me here).
:: And those are useful for interacting with things specific to an Avatar/base, for example I was recently able to make clothing "snap on" without manually reassigning things.
:: Having blendshape variables helped there too as it matched how the body was already configured.
:: I'm not too fussed about it actually becoming standard, I could live with it being just something I do.
:: Maybe I should put it in standard proposals where people can see it? Because even if not standard, other people might find use in it.
