I think people should realize it, but the helpfile will probably remind them, too. I mean, I'm the type of person that would probably want to see it, but I don't think it's something that always needs to be seen. In general, I don't think people are particularly interested in how a lowpass filter affects the phase, and if all you're looking to do is lowpass filter a sound, it probably won't matter. Besides, the units don't line up. The y-axis goes from 25 to -25 dB in the magnitude response pi to -pi radians in the phase response. That's something that could confuse someone who doesn't really understand phase alterations to begin with. I think it makes more sense to either be able to turn it on and off or switch between the two.
The more flexible the object is, the better. :-)

Did you see the phase line in the current implementation? I think its nice to have it there all the time, as long as its not dominant. I think having the phase line there will remind people that the effects of filters are never as simple as removing selected frequencies. .hc
