Heh, it was worth its own post rather than just an aside anyway, kicks
the discussion off properly...

Yes true. It seems to be a post-processing step, so needs a bit of
buffering.

Oh yeah definitely. I think the job is easier for generated music than
it is with post processing some MIDI file, you're really at the source
of the music and have any information about where phrases are that there
could be. I guess also that you could see applying these rules not just
as highlighting or 'expressing' phrases but defining where they are in
the first place.
Also there's no reason why we can't come up with our own performance
rules that a human wouldn't normally play. Well maybe many here already
have.
