This is exactly what I did, or at least I have implemented a big part of
the JSR-82 Standard with BlueZ as underlying Bluetooth stack. (I suppose
but do not really know if the implementation is clean:)). If you want
this implementation to be part of the BlueZ project, I (and especially
my boss:) agree.

To better understand the way I have interfaced BlueZ <->JSR-82 and if
you have enough time for this, I invite you to have a quick look at the
file sources/c/BlueZ.cpp contained in the tgz archive downloadable at
http://www.avetana-gmbh.de/avetana-gmbh/jsr82.xml

This c file mostly re-write some BlueZ method and has surely to be
cleaned and documented. 
This will be the next step of my work. This version is still a
beta-version but is stable and robust enough to be used in a project.
especially if the project uses RFCOMM connections. (there is still some
work to do with L2CAP).

I will continue to work on this project until I reach a clean and really
stable implementation. If you have any comment about the implementation
do not hesitate to mail me.
