Good point, I'll add an error message to the configuration parsing code.

It's easy to create an account and edit Wiki pages...

There's lots of scope for userspace tools for discovery, connection,
health monitoring and so on for SRP targets.  It would be great if
someone started working on something like that.  Do you have any
interest in contributing to this?

Let's not call dmcli "the configuration tool" -- it's a quick hack
that I put together that needs to be replaced by real device
management (see above).

Care to supply some suggested text?
