The inability to demonstrate useful tools still confuses me - I see 
video presentations of commercial tools on your download site and I've 
certainly seen companies provide tools (development and admin) in this 
space, so I don't see why exemplary tools are not conceivable. In their 
absence how do you vet any APIs or approaches? If no one can adopt until 
(nearly) everyone adopts, how can incremental progress be made or vetted?
