We're not discussing discarding velocity.  We're discussing whether it is a
property of the note on/off events, or whether it can be unified with the
rest of the event model and become a simple event delivered at note_on time.

If a plugin wants to handle continuous velocity changes (a violin?) it can.
It CAN, but it doesn't HAVE TO.  That is the markings of a good API, in my
mind, and that is why I have conceded this point :)
