I'm running a Dresden files RPG game, in it your player characters already live in the local area & are likely to know and/or know of different people in town than players with different backgrounds. It would be nice to have a classification I could give characters that moves them in between GM-Only & fully visible that hides the character sheet & just shows description+Secrets so I could fill in details on the character sheet without giving that level of detail to the players.
I'm sure that similar situations exist in other games, using D&D/Pathfinder as an example... Just because the players know who the bigbad is & are doing individual investigations about him between games, doesn't necessarily mean the GM wants the players to know his stats, saving throws, class levels, etc.

My PCs do use jbteller4's DST that's currently in the system (at least for now anyway, I'm trying to get "my own approved":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/dfd/wikis/custom-dst-layout but it's slow going).
It's a kludge, but at lest you can use the character sheet that way.
