3. Not sure, but it feels like there are some assumptions in there about what the Actor reports back to the host, i.e. that the host could somehow extract the map from the Actor... if so, can you amplify?

The host could, potentially, use the actor as its map. When it receives MIDI, it translates it to GMPI and sends it to the actor, which then does the map translation. I like this model better than publishing a map and then somehow having the plugin notify that the map is stale. This way, the map always lives inside the plugin.

Sure, the Actor can map a MIDI message to a parameter, but I don't think that's what the map's for. The map tells the host, for a given thing in the plug, what MIDI message you send to the plug to target that thing. So the arrow flows in the opposite direction.
