I realize it would almost double the code as you would have to do an "if such and such in the acp is checked use permissions a (or b)" for each option, which could be more of a hassle than it's worth.

If the author checks using two differnet bits of code then it can be done, usually its not "double" the code either i.e. if the .xml file was 2mb it doesn't go to 4mb just by adding in a small amount of code to "check" something. Basically the author could add in a new setting in the setting group of the mods xml, then in the primary plugin that handles or initiates the parsing simply add the check to that plugin and have it check the new setting, if it does or does not match or equals this THEN do what you want done or not done etc. Edit: You could also have it check and set a variable, later in the plugin or in a plugin that works in conjunction with another - you then say IF the variable = this, do this etc.
