Also, we only have a one-dimensional barcode reader.  From ReportLab's
end, we'd be happy to implement this (and DataMatrix too) if a
customer is willing to pay the time costs, which are probably a couple
of man-weeks.  Various enterprise customers have enquired in the past
but nobody has committed.  Let us know if your employers need this
badly enough ;-)
