I might want to have a global proofreading speed that operates
whatever the actual speed of the 16th notes should be.

I just gave that as an example of why you would want to play at a
speed different from the speed you display to the human.  In my case I
pretty much only use the MIDI files for proofreading, so if they end
up with a "wrong" speed it doesn't bother me that much, but if the
printing program displays a "wrong" speed, it's a problem.

Lilypond, which is the printing program I'm actually using these days,
has a MIDI block and a score block, so the two speeds are actually
completely independent unless you do something to set up a macro to
make them the same.
