I believe that the only obvious ones are ints that are truly ints and string parameters. For floats, you have the issue of display precision. Take, for example, frequency. Not probably useful to display 20.00000000 Hz. The plugin would know that it was frequency and should have 2 digits of precision past the decimal.

I think we need all three as requirements. However, note that the third one is optional for the plugin to support. I think that #1 is a requirement for all plugins for all non-opaque parameters. #2 and #3 are optional for plugins.


Why should #1 be required?  It should only be required for non-obvious
parameters.  Usually 3 = "3", right?

I guess this goes back to a default implementation and overriding a method
(C++ speak - though we kinda said C for the API :)
