Conclusion

• SingletonTag has originally been added in r24520. At that time, no serialization to MRML was added. Since then, multiple way of dealing with the "singelton-ess" of node have been implemented (Check of ID in selection node, check of tag + module name for the Editor).
  • As a step to (1) make things consistent and (2) address issue when an editor scripted module node is created before restoring a scene (details in 4006), we propose to implement the serialization of the Singleton tag into MRML.
  • Before moving forward, we would like to get feedback from the community.
