Add to this the fact that to get a working connection-enabled tool, you need
start with (or at least develop along the way) a working GUI-based editing tool.
That really narrows the field of potential tool-developers/standard-makers,
because any such PTD/SM either (a) has to write their own tool or (b) has to use
someone else's (open source) tool.
