I changed this to read:

GMPI must define an in-process customized UI mechanism.  Hosts are
not required to support this, but graphical hosts are strongly urged
to do so.

Then provided more on XML+layered bitmaps.

That is already a requirement:

GUIs are not part of a DSP plugin with private access to the DSP
internals.  All communication between UI and plugin is via standard
control signals.
