Thanks, done.

It's not actually a new feature, it was present in LADSPA RDF
descriptions: http://plugin.org.uk/ladspa-swh/metadata/swh-scales.rdf and
liblrdf. I don't think it's related to units as it deals in numerical port
values, rather than real-world values. But that's splitting semantic
hairs.

The same goes for the classification stuff, which was the main reason
users wanted RDF support from hosts for LADSPA, AFAICT.
