Summary: HIDETYPE:SKILL not only hides the type but also skills

Initial Comment:
If a skill type is defined as being hidden on the skill
tab by using either the game mode tag HIDDENSKILLTYPE
or the pcc tag HIDETYPE:SKILL, all skills of that type
vanish when the skill tab is set to display by Type.

No, it's not. HIDETYPE is there so you can assign TYPEs to
feats or items for internal referencing that should not be
listed in the GUI.
For example the TYPE "Starting" is assigned to clothing
items that are available in the selection for free clothing
for a new character. The TYPE is to be hidden, because it is
irrelevant as a node in the equipment tree and would only
clutter the GUI, so it is hidden from the GUI via a HIDETYPE
tag. However, the clothing items should of course appear in
the GUI.
Another example, you might want to add a type to certain
feats that might be available as bonus feats for a prestige
class, so you can programmatically select them. Still, you
don't want to see that type in the feat tree in the GUI, but
of course you want to see the feats.

Isn't this the desired behaviour? AFAIK, it's not the types that 
are supposed to be hidden, but the items/feats/skills of the 
specified type...
