So, we'll need to teach the signs about the Datatracker API, or we'll need to
get the room signs to have an available API and teach the Datatracker about

(Because, seriously, we switch things around, often at the last minute)

Lest you think I am saying that the above is impossible, let me stay again.
I think it's what our T2TRG and related CORE/CoAP/etc. stuff is intended to
solve, and it would make interesting dog food.
