I don't know what you are trying to say.  "One and the same directory as

from an outsider/independent session manager"?  Huh?
A directory of files is a directory of files.  The format Ardour would

save to inside of a session is precisely the same format it already

saves in, perhaps with some things being links.
I can guarantee you that much, because if it had to be different,

Ardour, like presumably most apps, simply would never implement it...

Not really.  Qtractor is just a weirdo edge case.  You seem to be trying

to paint the "mandates" of NSM as deeply imposing requirements, but

they're not.  Quite the opposite, really, anything else would certainly

be *far* more imposing and complicated.  That's kind of the point.
It's not really worth it to care about this case from an SM perspective

since it's rare, easily fixable, inherently un-archivable, and there's

no palatable solution for dealing with apps like this anyway.  The

obvious one would be to have a special 'deep save', but then... if the

app implements that, it can just save that way when running in an SM

every time.  Therefore it's a non-issue (heh) for SM.
