Dev certs are indeed a bit of a red herring - they're what you need to access the "extranet"-style wikis, repositories etc that the BBC uses to collaborate with external developers under NDA, but the whole system's been set up for something conceptually completely different to what Alex wants. I suspect the NDA bit would be troublesome for FOSS developers for starters.

The HTML iPlayer seems to list some kind of BBC Dev client cert CN as acceptable, so it's not a red-herring at all. ;)

If the BBC would allow interested free software users access this way, that'd suit me.
