The provisional LV2 spec is at http://lv2pluig.in/ it could do with some

FWIW, I think the "not changing any code" thing is a blind, someone,
somewhere has to change some code if you want new behaviour*. To me the
critical thing is not that, but that a display function or whatever only
solves half the problem. You would also like the app to be able to
"understand" the control value and it's units. But I said that allready :)

API so far is
at http://ftsf.technetium.net.au/code/ladgui/ladgui.h
what i'd like to know is, if this is a stupid idea ^_^
The idea itself isn't stupid, but the implementation is.. let's say less
than wise.
(Consider my personal blatant bias, but...) I'd suggest taking a look at
LV2. There is a data file you can add all this information to (whatever
information you want to), without defining any APIs, changing any host
code, etc, etc.
