Back Well - I understand why they're there, but IMO the extra copies of materials required for overrides to work should be kept hidden from the user - they should also update when you alter the original material. But on that subject we should also have the hierachy for material decisions exposed - i.e. be able to see through scripting what materials are applied to any given object - not just the current one - i.e. for every object you'd see that it has the scene material applied through inheritance, but the active material is blah which is inherited/applied locally/whatever.
Cheers,
Alan.
