Well, this is open source. While I don't want to preclude
closed source developement, it's usually necessary to have
an open source consumer that any open source developer
can test with.

Understood. I'm not asking *you* to cite one unless you
happen to own one of the consumers.

It doesn't help that the DAT yahoo-groups.com mailing list is rejecting
my replies.  It would be helpful if someone following this forum could
share Roland's question with DAT mailing list if it didn't make it
there already and possibly explain why naming a consumer is necessary.
