Standard vs. custom does not relate to "expert" features. There's a
difference between turning on expert features and using expert features.

I can see the questionaire right now.

Do you want the ability to resend a message?

(user thinks about this for a minute, "Hey a feature! I want it!") Yes, I
want the ability to resend. (User keeps on thinking, "What's resend?")

There's a right way to do this. Trolling users about feature list is the
wrong way.
