Is the selection API the right approach for this? Wouldn't it make
sense to use controls instead? That would interface easily with the Request
API allowing per-frame changes to the ROI, and with dynamic array controls (1)
it allows you to provide multiple ROIs as well.

The only missing piece would be MIN/MAX for compound controls, but that can
easily be added to the control framework.

If this was discussed before, then can you give a me pointer to that discussion?
I couldn't find anything for that, but I didn't look very long for it :-)

In any case, it doesn't really feel like it is the right API for this job.
I really need to review this series when I have a bit more time :-(

Regards,

	Hans
