it's also already done in Cubae for exemple, when the host can map a MIDI
controler (or whatever) to a parameters of the even VST 1.0 plug-in format.
In a similar way, this can be also done in the GMPI architecture, by
presenting a Parameters Port. with a public protocole that the host can
understand, interpret and use. But this does not forbid to the plug-in to
present a MIDI port if wanted... That's why i don't understand the actual
battle around MIDI or NOT MIDI.
