As a diabetic who could someday be faced with blindness, it's 
definitely something I keep in mind and I'd want to have some 
non-Ajax, non-graphical interface for that reason (among others.)

Speaking only for myself, I almost always mess with the tempo when 
recording MIDI tracks, to make them seem a little less metronomic.  
Live instrument tracks might not have a consistent tempo either.  (I 
have to admit I stood there in disbelief the first time I came across 
a 12 inch single that listed the BPM for each song, indicating they 
had only one.)

I agree with you about uploading raw tracks, and the EDLs I was 
referring to previously would be something the server maintained 
internally for handling effects, edits and mixdowns.  But I think 
whatever shape this tool takes, it should be useful to all 
computer-friendly musicians, not just limited to those whose genres 
of music use invariant tempos.
