True, but in this case I think that the real use case is to use quite
low-frequency signals (like various forms of ramps that run for at least 20 ms
or so). For those scenarios, band-limiting should not be necessary. As long as
the spec mandates a certain method of interpolation (e.g. nearest, linear or
cubic spline), the user knows what to expect and will not try to make other
things with it (like modulating a signal with a high-frequency waveform).

Also, I think it's important that all implementations behave equally here,
because different interpolation & filtering methods can lead to quite different
results. E.g. a 5 second fade-out would sound quite different if it used
nearest interpolation instead of cubic spline interpolation. In that respect, a
simpler and more performance friendly solution (like nearest or linear
interpolation) is better, because it's easier to mandate for all
implementations.
