I'm all for something like this.  We need to remember that this is
requirements, not details.


7.1.1 Interleaving or Lack Thereof
----------------------------------
All hosts and plugins must support non-interleaved data for plugin I/O.

TBD: Based on as-yet-unknown benchmarks, the specification may be extended
to include a per-plugin preference for interleaved data.  Should this be
added, the following additional issues must be resolved:

  * Is the preference plugin-global (all ins/outs), context global
    (all ins, all outs, or both), or per input/ouput?

  * At what point of plugin existance is the preference acknowledged or
    denied?

  * When may the host change the format?


Does everyone accept this?
