Dave,

Thanks a lot, that looks very helpful even if it was just for some of the
major vendors.

Clearly shows, the Open Mobile Alliance was defining some of those.
As it did with other attributes, especially extended vocabularies in the
W3C DDR Spec (like all these "is_nokia", etc.;-)

We are not meeting at ARM this time but next week's JCP F2F in San Jose
will be close to ARM's office. Zach Shelby represents ARM in some OMA
working groups like Device Management or M2M. I've been contacted by OMA a
few times about membership (which I don't need myself and Apache probably
is or was a member) so through some of these contacts I might be able to
find out, if OMA still has a wider stock of such information (since they
helped define it, see the headers) and if it was possible for us to access
them to gather more device information.

P.s.: As for Bertrand's question changing the format more drastically or
maintaining more than 1 repository could also be much easier if some of the
data was updated automatically, at least via some batch process.
