Yes, we also have to distinguish between transport state and graph state.
Graph state must be controlled by the host (that's the definition of a
host, more-or-less), but transport state information should be pluggable
(that's not to say hosts must necessarily obey it).

I'd like to see transport information as simply another graph-level event
stream (or encapsulated within our other event streams, however it turns
out); that allows for the possibility of multiple musical-time contexts
within a single signal graph , and also for filters that are able to
transform time data.


It's exactly my opinion. And it doesn't prevent host to
function in the "traditional" way, being the master of
transport and time information. It's up to the host to
receive and/or make transit between plug-ins transport/time
events.
