For example Zarlink's MT312 does support DiSEqC 2.2 (http://assets.zarlink.com/products/data/downloads/dm5651.pdf) and I am sure there are and will be more frontends which offer support for DiSEqC 2.x. > A read/write interface is not best suited for a fixed-length command > structure.

As far as I understood, DiSEqC commands do not have a fixed length but vary from 3 to 6 bytes in length and might even be longer for custom commands or custom devices. Also, the DiSEqC 2.x circuit does not need to be integrated in the frontend, but can be supplied as external hardware. For now it is not possible to use such external hardware, e.g. on a serial port, using the DVB API.
