Nikon already has a developers kit that allows any vendor to read the Nikon maker data. Adobe has chosen not to use it as it is probably not in their best intrerest to do so. Where would you stop? Each product owner would expect Adobe to do the same for them, so it is easier for them to develop their own approach that they control. So this is not a Nikon issue as far as compatibility goes. So we need to wait and see where Nikon is headed as they will not tell any of us what their plan is.
