In my mind every plugin parameter should be automatable, therefore every
parameter update should be visible to the host

...therefore every plugin GUI should connect to the host (not directly
to the plugin)...therefore to support such GUIs every host *SHOULD*
provide some kind of query-of-plugin-namespace.
