Well, that's the way that they sell it at the moment, but having 
written all the difficult stuff to make the EXS work, its presumably 
not too difficult to embed it into a simple application shell with a 
bit of logic code, especially since they've already done this with 
the playback-only version and with the cheaper electric piano 
instrument. 

I don't /think/ Apple would have the nerve to tell everyone else that 
they should use AU as the single open standard for all music software 
under OSX, then keep their own instruments in an undocumented 
proprietary format that can't be accessed by any software other than 
their own sequencer. Especially since they are telling people how 
easy it'll be to port instruments to AU.
That would be just a little bit cheeky.

But then, I could be wrong ...
