You're likely right that it isn't backward-compatible... chances are
that most services will not handle this situation *at all* and will need
to be tweaked somehow... Do you know what services do at the moment if
you hit them with no mobyData block?

I agree, however, that it would be REALLY useful to have this
functionality!
