Here are more details on that possible peace plan from the Jerusalem Post.

The plan also demands that Israel withdraw from all Palestinian territory and calls for “a just solution to the Palestinian refugee problem to be agreed upon in accordance with UN General Assembly Resolution 194.”

The initiative stipulates that Israel allow the return of Palestinian refugees and compensate those who don’t want to return.

Livni mentioned the wording regarding the Palestinian claim to a “right of return” as one of the reasons the plan was currently unacceptable to Israel.

So in this version there is some “right of return”, although the earlier Times Online description there is mention of an “effective veto” to returns. If this is the ballpark area around which BHO is proposing a comprehensive Middle Eastern settlement, it will be very interesting to say the least.
