  I think DB answered most of the rest of the questiosn - I'll just answer this 
aspect.

  If you modify the archetype of the object, then all instances of that object 
should automatically get updated where ever they may be.

  When an object is saved in a map or player file, only the differences between 
it and the archetype it is based on is saved.

  When the object is then loaded at a future point, it first copies over the 
values from the archetype into the object, and then over loads any values that 
may be specified in the file it is loading from.


So in almost all cases, the only change that needs to get done is to the 
archetype itself, and everything else automatically gets fixed up.
