That sounds like a good long-term plan, IMO, given the prevalence of HID in the 
modern era and the ability to map virtually everything to it.

I've though occasionally about putting together drivers for some of the HP-HIL 
devices (single-dial-and-button rotary encoder, dial box with nine rotary 
encoders, and button box with 32 buttons with LEDs) but haven't had much clue 
how to wire them into the higher layers of the system to actually use.

Having something like a HID abstraction layer that they could adapt to would 
make that more straightforward.
