I am trying to follow your thinking, but I just keep getting confoozled.  I
*think* I get what you are getting at with this - can you give me some more
concrete examples?

How does gesture data tie into notes?  I though gesture start/end was mostly
to give the host some clues about associated events.  If I click and drag a
knob in the GUI, how does that tie to a note?

This is the notion I have been describing as "subscribing to" or "asking
for".  I think that THIS is the fundamental point of the whole XAP design,
and I think it makes a lot of sense for GMPI.
