I am embarassed to say that there was an IBM product that misused the generic command interface because it was 'easier' than figuring out the actual API. The product has since been corrected and "attractive nuisance" has been filled in with concrete. And, yes, there are non-IBM exploiters of SMAPI. As an aside, given the nature of the data flows, consider an option to provide an SSL session to protect them. (It will require "static SSL" on the VM side of things.)
