Wim, I read your comments again. This is a total different design. Below I call
mine E and your design W.

E: presets are loaded when needed per element
W: all presets are always loaded

E: elements can override behaviour (influence order, skip properties)
W: only generic behaviour

E: elements can override format parsing if they don't want to use a default
format  (bridge plugins)
W: elements would need to register a i/o modules if the want to support their
own format

Basically I dont see the benefit to have all plugin in one store object.
Presets or specific to one element. Other elements cannot use then in a
meaningful way.
