I also agree that the library should store the data rather than force addons to store it. Then there would be only one alts table for various addons to use, rather than, say, Prat storing the table, GuildGreet storing the table, some raid manager storing the table, a guild list organizer storing the table, etc. This defeats the purpose of a shared library, and they may as well use their own methods of creating/storing that data. Instead, the lib will store the table and the mods will access/write to it directly. One centralized location of the data for the mods to share.
Of course, this does require the user to install the library as standalone. Each mod that would use LibAlts would have to have a fallback in case a user did not have LibAlts installed. Having it installed would just be a bonus to the user, in that they would be able to share alt data across all addons they have installed that utilize it. Perhaps LibAlts could have its own frame to enter alt information as well - a centralized place to enter alt names into the table...
