If send the raw binary data, yes, that's Inviting Trouble (IT).
But if it's correctly OSC encoded there shouldn't be a problem.
Anyway I guess a host would not use the raw LADSPA data, but a
rather a more general format that it could use to describe its
internal modules or other plugin formats as well. The GUI doesn't
need to know if a module is built-in, LADSPA, LV2, or any other
format. One more reason for not having it read the LV2 itself.
