Am I the only one who noticed that there are no references to 'consumers'? There's plenty of 'customers'. I'd like to see more of that, too.

What distinction are you making between the two?

'Consumer' is a cold, impersonal word. 'Customer' hints that there's a human on the other end.

My web service client is a JSON consumer, but I'm a store's customer. It doesn't work the other way.

I read your original comment as you wanting more references to 'consumer', which, of course, I found a bit odd.
