I would like to see this as well, except maybe something a bit more
generic (i.e some simple serial communication style like plain serial
port data (8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit), or I2C, or ???)

I'm not convinced that this makes a whole lotta sense. Realistically, if you're doing RS-232 output, you'll want to go to some sort of a computer (be it a "special purpose" computer - i.e. home automation controller, or a PC, or whatever).

If you're doing this, then you mind as well just grab what you need via SlimServer's CLI, which is VERY rich. Indeed, I control my Squeezeboxes via the CLI with a very rich interface. See this:

for a screenshot.

I'm after something much simplier. I want *LOCAL* control (no computer) to turn on an amp or something. I'm not picky about what I get, as long as it's simple. If you give me an RS-232 port, that's pointless (I mind as well just supply a dry contact via my home automation system), as I'd need some sort of processor to interpret it.

Lots of amps have trigger inputs to turn on.  That's all I'm after here.
