management MUST be handled by the host since different hosts may have very
different requirements. Plugins MUST NOT make any assumption about file system
locations beyond what is explicitly guaranteed by this extension.</p>

+contexts); while <a href="#pathSupport">files:pathSupport</a> allows plugins
+to refer to file paths in plugin state in a way transparent to the host.</p>

<p>To create a new file, the plugin MUST request a path from the host using
-LV2_Files_File_Support::new_file_path(). Thus, the host may choose an
+LV2_Files_New_File_Support::new_file_path(). Thus, the host may choose an
appropriate location for the file (e.g. a writable path on the appropriate disk
volume or a path within a session directory) using information not available to
the plugin.</p>
