Well, firstly I disagree that it's only continuous.  It's probably OK to
map to enum types, if we define consistent rules.

A lot of the details I drop are accidental.  In this case, I didn't think
that was right for requirements.  Requirement SHOULD be simple.  Too often
we're dictating implementation details.  The requirement is really that
outs map to ins.  Details are left for later.  If there is something we
need to explicitly allow or disallow for a reason, then it should be in
here.  Mandating "only continuous controls" is arbitrary, at this point.

I think...
