Right, at the moment I can only think of the parallel (LVDS) interface and ASI, where the ASI "frontend" might have some more capabilities due to the encapsulation. Apart from that, i am totally fine with the dummy approach. And, as you mentioned, it is more in-line with the delivery system definition.
