In addition to that, as I stated in some previous e-mail, I am currently working on new 'hidraw' interface, which will provide more flexibility to userland applications willing to operate on raw HID data, than they currently have with hiddev.
I do not know too much about the Linux innards, but my opinion is that the HID API to userland should be the bare reports. Windows is handling it that way for a good reason. Far too many HID devices have either non-informative descriptors (declaring a byte array report) or declaring a report which does not match the data contained. Parsing a report is definitely a userland job.
