Enable maybe. I would hope that there would be less MEPs than bindings - 
or to put it another way I would expect bindings to declare support 
(there's that word again) for one or more MEPs from a common external 
set rather than define its own. For me that was one of the points of the 
binding framework: common features supported by multiple bindings.
