I believe that works yes.

I don't think we want to remove any that are going to cause that kind of pain. 
If the value is still valid and more than one layer is using the variable then 
it's reasonable to keep there. On the other hand, if it's invalid or only one 
layer is likely to ever use it (e.g. the Opie ones that I removed earlier) 
then it's a candidate for moving out, IMHO.

Cheers,
Paul
