Actually (to put it frankly), I'm amazed that this exceptions list is 
compiled into the driver. I would have thought that such a list should 
at least be in a configuration file that an installed application can 
add or delete, if not something more sophisticated.

Something more sophisticated will happen someday, this is what we have
now.

There is also possibility (for quite a few releases already) to change the 
quirk list in runtime. See the 'quirk' parameter to the usbhid module.

What will happen if the HID driver is fixed to allow arbitrary 
messages, and I want to switch back to using it rather than libusb ?

What exactly is the problem here? I didn't seem to catch the beginning of 
the thread (or it happened off the list I am subscribed to).

I will apply the patch to my tree, thanks.
