Well, I actually have the ReWire SDK, but haven't looked at it yet. I was hoping someone else here would know details! :) I've been basing my statements about ReWire on how I've seen it used, as a sync master and how a client (and host?) registers itself and (all?) hosts (and clients?) have a selection method for available ReWire connections.
