Oh yes, copy protection (can't we just agree to disallow copy protection
in GMPI? ;-)
Okay, well I personally have no objection to this idea as long as 1) it is
definitely optional and 2) it's not considered the only way to support
different-version state data. I think that the first expectation should
be that the plugin will interpret the data, if possible, but if the plugin
supports this old version emulation mode, then the host can choose to try
that with the old state data (but if that fails, then the host would try
seeing if the plugin might still be able to interpret the data). How does
that sound (hoping that was at least coherent)?
