Rob,
It seems clear that what the world needs right now is not guidelines
on how to make an extension that does this, but specifications for an
actual extension that does what's needed. Could you please rustle
something up? I'm sure it would only take you a few minutes, and it
would (A) make Martin's life much easier; and (B) ensure that his
implementation can interoperate with those that follow. (I can easily
imagine adding support for this to Zebra.)
