Sorry - I think #1 and #2 are both good.  In fact, I also suggested the
same things about a year ago, although nothing came of it in the end.

#3 makes a lot of sense too, esp. if you are auto-generating a UI based
on meta-data output from the RAs.

The amount of information in the RA metadata is currently insufficient
to present a good, auto-generated UI.  All three of your suggestions
improve on that.
