Although I can appreciate this, for the purposes of this fact sheet, I
don't think we can have a "Yes, but you have to reverse engineer the
server and write the client code yourself" answer :) If there are any
features planned for the near future, I'm happy to add a "soon" or
similar entry. For instance, the "soon" answers in the DW category
include only features which either exist in one form now but will be
extended, or that are in testing now but not in the public release.
