The problem with this is eq2ui_mainhud.xml is like 1000 times more likely to get patched than the startbutton and even if the startbutton is patched you likely won't lose critical functionality.

When SOE next patches eq2ui_mainhud.xml, you'll have to update yours. I imagine that won't be a problem for you, but mod authors need to make stuff that won't break when SOE patches. Using the startbutton XML to load the performance profile stuff means users won't fill up the help forum with a "why can't I see X new window" when SOE updates eq2ui_mainhud.xml.

Just giving you insight on why the author put the <include> in the startbutton. If you realized this already, what would be your argument as to why it's still better in eq2ui_mainhud.xml?
