Universal Split Files

Idea i have for a universal split file. I dont know how well this will run over with you guys

For each game/category, have the community decide on the splits EX: KH2 beg. Any% Twilight Thorn Axel 1 7 Wonders Axel 2 etc....

And there could possibly be 2 versions, world and "Micro-Splits" That way people can choose there preferred way of splitting.

I think something like this could be a useful for importing splits for comparisons.

And yes, i have already thought of all the conflicts that can occur due to runners personal preference. Just an idea that i would like others opinions on.

While its potentially a good idea I can see some issues.

My main concern is what about people who use their splits as their notes like me?

Take my re:Coded WR for example: http://www.speedrun.com/run/dy42x2dm I know for a fact without having so many splits I'd likely mess up somewhere and I've seen varies runners do the same thing for Sardonix ring in Kh2 / Puppies in KH1.

Personally I think expanding Rebel's idea of a "world leaderboard" to be a better idea for this maybe importing the idea into the leaderboards like I'm doing with the 358/2 ILs - http://www.speedrun.com/khdays-j/individual_levels

I requested a feature for LiveSplit for segment ids or "alternate split names" that would be used when importing splits or for comparisons during races. They originally included it in one of their milestones, but I haven't checked on the status of it in a while. Should that get implemented, the idea would be to have a curated list of segment ids by the community, and then your split name that is displayed can be anything you want.
