>Any progress on this?

No. The discussion stopped before I was convinced I knew exactly what was 
wanted, and then I got involved in other stuff and forgot about it.

As I recall: The idea is to use those strings to help decide if a brltty driver 
should claim a device or not. If a driver specifies a lsit of manufacturer 
strings then one of them must match, and/or if a driver speifies a lsit of 
product strings then one of them must match. Is that how you understand it?

My lingring concern is that, if this feature were being used by a driver, then 
it'd stop recognizing a braille deivce if a slight change were made to those 
strings. Maybe that's an invalid concetrn. Do you know if there's some kind of 
understanding that those strings need to be stable or are they really just 
intended/used for human readability?
