I believe there will be plenty of opportunities to put read-only,
user-experience-enhancement APIs in to GMPI, this is just one example.
It's the kind of thing a host vendor and a sampler vendor who both want to
support it could discuss, and then propose to the GMPI group in an
advanced state. Because it's a read-only interface on the plug, it's
virtually impossible for it to break compatibility with everything else.
