So... something like this?

LV2-EBasic := LV2 core + URI Map + MIDI Event

LV2-EPlus := LV2-EBasic + External UI

LV2-EExtreme := LV2-EPlus + dynparam + Progress

LV2-EVideo := LV2-EBasic + SMTP + Transport

Note: Yes, I know some of those extensions don't exist or are proposals.
Some may not even relate. I'm still trying to understand it. :-)

BTW: Some of the extension API's seem more like plumbing. Resources for
communicating between plugins. Things that have little relevence to the
end user. For example, the URI Map seems like it's just a utility for an
extension or a plugin -- but the host doesn't necc. need to add support
for it. Is this right?

Peace,
Gabriel
