Almost done!!
I've updated the doc with all the comments from this so far. Please read
it and let me know if I got anythign wrong. We may want to eventually
merge the next section in with this section and re-order some, but we'll
deal with it later.

one more 3.11 topic
It's looking pretty good. I would suggest:
- Change 'parameter list' to 'parameter set' generally, since list
implies (to me at least) linear array, whereas the natural structure
may be more treelike.
- Change 'channel' to 'slot', since 'channel' implies (to me at
least) identical structure in the different slots, whereas 'slots'
makes me think of e.g. card racks where you can fit anything into any
hole.
- 'Actors' - I think calling the per-event validation part and the
periodic event dependency implementation part both by the same name,
'actor', is confusing. Suggest re-wording more closely borrowed from
the write-up I provided. I do think 'actor' is a very vague name
unlikely to communicate its function to thiose not on this list.
- In 4.23, it should be clearer that 'plug-in's structure' refers to
the channels/slots described in 4.22 & 4.24. As written, it's
ambiguous.
- 4.24 as written uses only MIDI as the justification for
multi-channel support, whereas on several occasions I've pointed out
there are any number of other applications. At minimum, please
mention mixers there.
- In 4.25, missing word in last sentence?: "Even more *****, the
generic output might be..."
- 4.26 seems like it's a little marketing-heavy, and maybe should be
clearer technically.
