Thinking about this I was worried about parallel

LADSPA2.0 and one which is binary incompatible LADSPA2.2 or whatever)
must change since it's incompatible, right?
Yes, the URI changes whenever the effective ABI changes, ie add, remove or
change semantics of ports, or new struct ABI.
We need to make absolutely sure multiple versions of a
plugin can be
installed at once, including new incompatible versions of the spec, is
my point. I /think/ it's okay as stands though.
Yes, you just need to make sure the URIs and and bundle names change as
appropriate.
