Nope.  The D-Bus API is frozen and we take that seriously.  The internal 
API will likely never be.

Thanks for the compliment :)

This is where the UI that Marcel and I described comes in.  Ask the user 
which set he wants to use.  Programming in all bazillion contexts is 
pretty pointless.

That's because MBPI doesn't have any SPN information, nor is it defined 
in the DTD last I checked.  MBPI can / should be improved quite a bit to 
make provisioning more fool proof.
