And how many P25/MotoTurbo/NXDN/D-STAR radio models are available for
223 mhz.?
I think it is a great market for someone to build a 223 mhz. D-STAR
radio and repeaters, and the home brew crowd can get there (Yahoo!
gmsk_dv_node and pcrepeatercontroller) but until you have an "off the
shelf" manufacturer it will never grow.
Things change over time and people need to be adaptable.

There is no need for APCO P25 protocol compatibility. They are
different designs for different purposes. Hams are not a managed
fleet like public safety systems.
That being said, creating a 12.5 kHz. band plan in the portion of
the REPEATER sub-band currently used for analog simplex would
accommodate more than D-STAR. P25/MotoTurbo/ NXDN/D-STAR all fit
into those slots nicely.
