I will mention the concept of Nikon having an option on their scanners of scannig to NEF to the regional Nikon folk. If you mention the same to your friends at K & S I bet this would be a simple thing for Nikon to do software wise; probably difficult to do corporate wise. Think of scanners writing a RAW format, no longer obsessing over getting the presets just right, just scan and adjust in PS, Aperture, LIght Room or whatever.
