a recommendation, yes i think that would be very sensible indeed.
please consider that implying TOGGLED makes MOMENTARY a '1 or 0'
valued control for all time, which is an unnecessary limitation.

TRIGGER is meant to accommodate MIDI and other mechanical trigger
sources, it's not exclusively tailored for display user interface
elements. there are a number of convenient ways to represent it
on-screen though, like the good old peak meter.

in fact there already are plugins implementing the TRIGGER behaviour.
it needs official status.

more opinions please?

amicalement,
