It's probably not necessary since we're talking about a separately keyed
data section. First of all, a host won't even try to load previous VST
settings unless there is an AU with certain matching characteristics
(subtype, name, whatever). And at that point, the host can decide to pass
the data in the vstdata section, and the worst thing that happens is that
the AU ignores it (or more likely, doesn't notice it). Unless I'm not
thinking of some situations, it doesn't seem to me like that sort of
plug-to-host notification is useful. Not that it would be terrible, but
I'm definitely inclined to think that extra complication to the API
shouldn't be there when not needed (just look at VST, how many redundant
ways are there to say that a plug "can do" something? :). But like I
said, there might be usefulness to this that is not apparent to me yet.
