I have actually created several various programs for variable storage in 'unused' app pages. But then I started thinking, many other applications use this area, and was disouraged, but what if there was a standard for extrapolative RAM data storage? I really like your idea of the standard, but what if the new standard were to be integrated into TI-OS?

Then i thought about using the standard VAT. In a VAT entry, one byte designates the Flash Page (or zero if in RAM), but the leading bit of that number is 'insignificant,' (e.g. if you were to enter 89h instead of 09h, the VAT would still theoretically be pointing to the same place) and if this 'insignificant' bit were to be used for specifying storage on an 'unused' RAM page, that would be quite convenient. So, instead of 85h pointing to 05h ROM page, it would really point to page 85h, an 'unused' RAM page.
