Actually I didn't mean to say that they /will/ be required, just that I
don't have a problem with it. I've not heard anyone else speak in favour
of this, and it is a feature. If theres a critical mass of support I'm OK
with adding it, as it should make the lives of some hosts much easier.
At the risk of upsetting Dave, it can be added a a 3rd party extension
without anything really bad happening. It just means that the Pd messages
/ OSC paths / whatever for some plugins will be ugly. "Market pressure"
will ensire that all plugins support it if its useful to enough users.
