BCS and X10 Question

I'm working on an xAP connector for the LynX-10 PLC and I have a few
question about BCS.

Is it the responsibility of the X-10 connector to convert a source
like Source=ACME.Controller.apartment:BedsideLamp to its X-10 address?

If this is the case wouldn't it be better if there was an intermediate
"devices" connector that could maintain the state of the device
and
translate the xAP source to an X-10 address and then sent out the
correct xAP message to the X-10 connector? This way you could change
the X-10 interface you were using without having to recreate all your
"devices".

Can BCS be used for messages for a thermostat (or is there a better
schema out there)?

Also is there a schema out there for home theater control?

Thanks,
Eric
