That's fine where it works, where the usage of the card fits a well-known 
model.  In my particular case, I'm building a generic card issuance system, 
and I can't make any predictions about what sorts of cards might be 
personalized, much less what the high-level API would look like.

IMO, an abstracted API would be useful, but it wouldn't replace the APDU-level 
interface.
