I am not sure we are on the same wavelength :D Yes freehand painting needs to 
be recordable. If it's just for automation of applying a series of filter and 
image resizing, recording is just a nice addition to a macro system. But the 
two other main usage I see for recording is colaborative editing (where you 
absolutely needs accuracy in the results and you need the information to be 
as small as possible) and tutorials (see 
http://www.portalgraphics.net/en/products/oc4/info/#event, since I saw this, 
I have dream of it in krita ;) ).

He is/was working on a macro library 
http://www.kexi-project.org/wiki/wikiview/index.php?Macros. Which could 
serves as an editor of what was recorded.
