Some general thoughts:
 - regarding keys, an ascii version to ease manipulation would be
   great. I hate it when I have to rm all the keys because one device
   has a problem. Even worse - some device can only pair with 1 other
   device. If I was able to share keys between my desktop, my laptop and
   my handheld that would be great(but maybe the bt device will use the
   bt address too and refuse that)
 - regarding names : would it be possible to replace bt address by
   nicknames? My devices send back a FQDN on scan because that's the
   way I set them up, but it would be much better if I could address
   them with that FQDN too.

The current ascii key approach is interesting, but entries in
/etc/hosts where bt address would be bound to names, which names would
then be used by l2ping, obexftp etc would be even better !
