Is this a misunderstanding? Custom should just touch (custom-set-variables...) and (custom-set-faces...) at the top level (actually it only checks indentation but that is probably good enough) in .emacs or custom-file. "Erase All" should mean erase the entries in (custom-set-variables...) etc for the options in the current customization buffer + reset fields and current symbols' values. Of course, we discussed other names for "Erase All" (and I forgot to choose a better one here), "Standard Values", "Default Values" etc. What I wanted to point out is that this (whatever it does not really fit under "Get All" (since it does much more) and I pointed out earlier that it can not perhaps always be done with Get+Save.
