As you said, its actually quite an old idea in its essential form.

If you read the filesystem hierarchy document you'll realise that *step defines 
USER, LOCAL, NETWORK and SYSTEM domains. The fuller idea is to have layered 
preferences in each domain. Apple have further extended this in their 
preference system to further split each. Look at the docs for CFPreferences
