The connector has room for 9 pins, and there's
been talk of providing 100baseT Ethernet
through the connector, along with power.

This is a useful little interface, and ought to
be more widely used. These connectors should appear
in cars. Especially since DVD players and game devices
can now plug into them.

It would be nice if some standard DC connector would evolve in place of the
cigarette lighter plug.
