I believe static data was created back in the days of yore when we had vastly less powerful script commands than we do now. static data currently works about the same way as data set with typSetGlobalData, except for being read only.

I suggest that the static data functions be dropped (well, depreciated and aliased), and that the <SaticData> defined in the XML be used as an initializer for the data that can be retrieved or modified with typ*GlobalData functions.

Are there any downsides to doing this?
