I'm pretty sure David was being facetious. There's approximately zero chance that any bank is going to undertake developing a new transfer protocol. The trend is that Quicken's propietary Web Connect authentication is what's supported. We've kept USAA going only because USAA decided to stick with DirectConnect and Quicken made it easy to reverse-engineer the new authentication arrangement.
Now if somebody can reverse engineer Web Connect I'm sure Martin would be willing to implement it if it's feasible. He has the advantage of being largely beyond the reach of the DMCA. Ideally Congress would mandate something like Germany's FinTS for the US. That campaign would need some very wealthy donors to bankroll it, the lobbying against such a mandate from the banking industry and from Intuit will be intense and they have a lot of money and lobbyists.
