Jumping in late on this after a break in reading the thread.

I'd vote "no" in a heartbeat.  It makes things like developing on one
system and even copying a single table to another system with a different
password and then using it cumbersome at best (and that assumes ABE=ASCII
and it's just a simple edit).  It's far more of a PITA than it's worth,
IMHO.
