Remapping keys:
This sounds like a good thing at first, but imagine if the brake and accelerator pedals, the blinkers, horn, and other key features could be remapped in a consumer car. The user/consumer would then be in charge and would have a more custom and arguably better experience -- until a valet or stranger needed to drive their car. My car lets me remap a few roller buttons, but they are never to critical features or safety features. Even those changes cause confusion sometimes since I'm not certain what they do at that moment.

Similarly, I'd prefer that DSes try to match the ad hoc standards of the official DS. I haven't heard back from Spat yet, but it sounds like an implementation issue and not a "better" standard. If it is, we will certainly consider something like you mention.

Of course if a device doesn't have a keyboard, it still needs safety actions, and those will have nothing to do with a spacebar. So I hope that a few folks will develop good standards and others will generally follow them.

Offseason Estop:
If I correctly understood your request, I think you'll see it implemented this season, much as you requested.
