You might want to take a look at this:
<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/
universal_binary/universal_binary.pdf>
Appendix A has Rosseta spec.

Rosseta is not like Apple is trying to invent something like CoreAudio
or CoreMIDI.  They are doing this transcoder for easy transition.  My
point is that it doesn't look Rosseta is something under development.

On the other hand, anything when it comes to assembly, it can be really
messy.  Who knows when Apple finishes MacTel CoreMIDI.  Vendors won't be
able to do anything until Apple finishes it.

Remember AudioUnit?  Apple never finished solid spec till Panther. 
Emagic had to jump on it since they were bought out by Apple, ended up
with creating AU standard which didn't meet the Apple's AU spec.  A big
mess.  Not to mention Apple modified AU API two days before Panther
release, which was after FC GM build was passed QA.  That caused a lot
of problems to us, DAW users.

I am not complaining.  Tiger and my G5 Dual-2.5 can do quite amazing stuff :-)
