I like the idea and also the implementation.

But before merging this needs more comments from other on the list. 

Even though it does not break anything for any current frontend-driver 
it is important to have a wider base agreeing on that. Especially from 
some other frontend-driver-writers.

For example I could imagine that a frontend HAS_LOCK, but is still not 
able to report the parameters (USB-firmware-based frontends might be 
poorly implemented). 

And so on...

regards,
