Actually, as Common requirement would be nice.  Also if you know the
product manager of an area, calling/emailing them sometimes works.  You
can also suggest it at Soundoff at Common...if you're not going to be
there I'll be glad to present it....besides I need some positive things to
say...:)

Be aware that there is at least one product manager that has pissed me off
substancially because when I asked for a few API's into some areas that I
had a LEGITIMATE reason for getting the data from, railed at me for 
even knowing that this undocumented stuff existed...they lost credibility
bigtime.... (yes, the solution to my problem ended up being a 1 page MI
routine...:)

So, be careful who you ask, and even then, sometimes people just can't
think like use end users and don't appreciate the need for information
access (presuming legitimate needs!) to stuff that's out there...

But Bruce is VERY correct.  A standardized and supported API is definately
the prefered way to go...just getting some folks motivated can be
trying...
