(Chuckle).  In this case, anything but.

Potentially no, but the CP standard is poorly thought out in some areas:
flexible enough to encode anything, but without the ability to transfer
code fragments so that the receiving system can process what the sender
is sending.  As a result, sender and receiver have to agree on the
format of the content.  At present, Bod only understands Web content
from third-party systems.

Yes.  We could change that, to allow export and round-trip of arbitrary
other resources as CPs.  Melandra would be happy to provide quotes on a
resource-by-resource basis if anyone wants to commission us to perform
this work ;-).
