You are of course correct here, and  the point 3B (below) in Ron's current
list would fall into the same category.  Since the 3B says nothing about the
connection between DSP and host one could assume that it could be a network
? 

"3. What are the target "form factors" for GMPI plugins?

A: On the same platform as the application
B: On dedicated (DSP) hardware with a software interface to the host".
