Core could be more helpful with respect to event ordering

Submitted by Mathieu Duponchelle Link to original bug (#728138)
Description
A precise sequence of events need to be sent before starting data flow. There's already code that ensures ordering, could gst instead of throwing warnings and errors when the ordering is not respected provide vmethods in GstElement for handling that ?
ie we can find send_caps, send_stream_start and send_segment boolean fields variations in multiple element methods (videomixer / adder are the ones that come to mind), would be nice to delegate that to GstElement and have vmethods such as get_stream_id, get_segment etc ..
I have no API proposal, just starting the discussion :)
