Does this means MUSTIME, tempo, & meter can't be stapled to the 
timeslice struct, since they come in as a param from some other 
arbitrary source that the host shouldn't need to peek into?

Part of the MUSTIME struct could an ID that indicates the musical timeline
context.  Then the host could refer to this ID when making conversions.

How would this work if a plugin wanted to convert from ABSTIME to MUSTIME.
It would need to ask for the conversion in the context of some specific
tempo context.  How would the plugin know which one?

Finally, is support for multiple tempo maps so vital that it belongs in
version 1.0?  (I mean, you all felt that offline processing wasn't even
worth of a 1.0 spec, but c'mon... <g>)
