Rob,
In fact the precursor to RDM was a protocol I developed at High End Systems just for that reason. We were doing an exterior architectural product where we wanted to eliminate the buttons and display for cost and reliability reasons.
I had the concept of doing something like RDM for a while up until that point for the touring market, but that product gave me the time to go develop it.
The cost of including RDM in a product is negligable if it is already doing DMX512.
