Well, this doesn't cover the following cases:

* If one doesn't want the script to touch an element at its default position
* An element has been moved away from its default by a script, not by a human (e.g. when re-running the script after some edits)


Maybe one could misuse some playback specific info for flagging purposes - if playback data isn't of interest.  For expressions this could be the PlaybackLayerAssignment property, VelocityDelta for notes and the like.  Not very nice, but unless there's a better way, it might do.
