sure. but we might still be a ways off from sane2. also, i dont feel like 
the proposal gives enough detail about just what each bit of the button 
bitmap does, or which ones actually exist in the scanner. if the backend 
could spec names for each bit, then you would not have some 
trial-and-error to get your front-end to do the right thing on each button 
press.
