Yes. The ability to plot things on top of each other is important. The simplicity created by having a single interface for adding to plots outweighs the complexity of yet another parameter. The add parameter only interacts with other parameters superficially -- some parameters of "plot" (like log) are related to the shape of the axes, and should be inherited from what is on the plot already.
But what about when the new data is outside the range of the current plot?
plot/lines/points already works that way so this is just an interface issue.
