I think that stops or endpoints, then having the interpolation being a 
family of mathematical interpretations gives the most flexibility. It is 
good here not to be trapped by what others are doing or what has been 
done before. I could imagine that 3rd or 4th order polynomial equations 
as the basis for the interpolation could produce some interesting 
results, not mention some Mandelbrot-like equations.
