I would have thought all related settings would be advanced or not, so would still be grouped together (I'm ignoring how things are split between levels currently as a lot of the guesses made split things that shouldn't have been split).
Hiding settings as default seems to me to be not at all user friendly, although I totally get the need to not confuse the newbie by overwhelming them with long settings lists, thus my idea was seeking the middle ground of having a page of settings that the majority would need for a good XBMC experience, then anything else in a sub-page for the more advanced user.
Most CE companies now do their settings in a similar way, for example on TV's stuff like colour management used to be buried out of view or only accessible via a Service menu, however due to consumer feedback this has generally been brought more to the fore by having a page of the basic settings everyone might potentially use, and then the more advanced stuff like colour management in a sub-page.
