Wesley:

I just read your spec. These type of specs have existed for years. How are they going to:

"set a standard that will allow architects, builders, and electricians to offer home automation and custom electronics without requiring them to make a huge investment in training, product selection, or a particular integrator".

And what makes you think architects or builders want to be dealing with this any more than I want to be dealing with tiling the bathroom when we install speakers. It's not their field.
