tools support for non-512 byte sector sizes

Jim pinged me about the use case for having our tool chain (parted specifically) support devices with non-512 bytes sectors.

Off the top of my head, the following is the list of existing or soon to appear devices that could use this (taken from our thread last year, at
http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-fsdevel/2007/3/11/317183):

   (1) R/W optical drives
   (2) S390 dasd devices have a 4096 byte sector
(3) new 4096 byte disks (which intend to export a virtual 512 byte sector)

Anything else pop into mind? Any idea if SSD or FLASH devices have thoughts to use a non-512 byte sector size? What tools are most critical to support?

Thanks!

Ric
