Thanks for responding, Samson. I have some followup. See below.

I've filed a feature request about this. Thanks.

This looks very useful in all sorts of contexts. :-) 

Just to make sure I understood correctly, please confirm: Querying 
o.e.h.datacollection in this way is asking RAServer about its version, not 
asking some part of the agent extension framework, right? That is, it is 
giving back something like the version attr from serviceconfig.xml or 
something built into RAServer, not the internal wire protocol version info 
or info about the extension framework.
