I agree, and I had actually written something like that in an early draft :)

How do I describe this for the reqs?
Just to clarify, we're talking about something like (examples):
* host provides a gui engine
* plugin calls gui engine for things like "add a knob at (x,y) with callback
function foo"
Is that right? Then the host is responsible for actually displaying the UI
and sending GUI events to the plugin callbacks?
