AU parameters with unit 'Beats' handled incorrectly

[os]

I mentioned this in the beta forum:
http://www.ableton.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=23461
but didn't get a reply.

if an Audio Unit plug-in publishes a parameter with a unit of 'beats', then the Live GUI only offers and displays integer values for that parameter.

However the values sent to the plug-in are not integers, and so do not correspond to the values displayed.

IMHO Live should set plug-in parameters to the value that it is displaying to the user.

cheers,
os.
