We're also working on a formal, first publication of the Audio Unit

Thanks!
My first request would be that every part of the Audio Unit
Specification (function, structure, flags, etc...) shall be
documented, there should be no white spaces on the map.
My second would be that the documentation shall be precise and
unambiguous, when Bill is saying:
We have no formal requirements for the HighResolution flag; the
expectation is that the host will use as high a resolution as it is
capable of when dealing with this parameter. What that might be in
reality is dependent on all kinds of restrictions (not the least of
which is the resolution of a control source that may be attached to
that parameter).
This means that the flag has no precise definition and therefor
cannot be used reliably by hosts and plugin.
No.
It means that it is a hint to the host and that the host should do
"what it can" given that request. By not providing this hint, you are
also giving the host the liberty to use a low resolution option if
that is available. So, it might not be as definitive or as dogmatic as
you would like, but it is nonetheless a useful statement.
