This sounds like it /could/ (not sure and no promises) be an area of  
work for DAP, given that it is about device/system information, and  
given that I would expect the user to be in very solid control of the  
security policy granting access to such information. I guess it could  
perhaps be exposed as a system property, part of the System  
Information work.
