SSAP clients for theoretical spectra

To all architects and developers of SSAP clients:

within the GAVO (German VO) project we implemented the simple spectra access protocol for synthetic spectra. When I started testing our service I noticed that most of the client tools do not support search for theoretical spectra but only query by position and time. So my question to the applications working group: Are there any plans or on-going discussions about including theoretical spectra? Or any client software I do not know yet? (The only one I know dealing with parameters for theoretical spectra is VOSpec.)

Otherwise I suggest to take this aspect into account for further development.

The base url of our SSAP service is:
http://vo.ari.uni-heidelberg.de/ssatr-0.01/ssatr?request=queryData& To get an impression what parameters theoretical spectra would typically use, you can look at our browser based interface (or contact me directly).
http://vo.ari.uni-heidelberg.de/ssatr-0.01/TrSpectra.jsp

(This service is supposed to comply with SSAP version 1.02. If you find anything non-conforming, please let me know. )
