What would make more sense would be an easy way to understand what profiles your device will support and what peripherals will match up with those standard profiles. At this point, I don't think Bluetooth's success hinges on usability. Rather, it is a matter of transparency, from both an audit (ex. What can it do) and a user-experience perspective. I understand the latter is hard to do, but the former really just needs clarity from the device manufacturers. For example, I was digging around for the meaning of A2DP and what it meant for myself, as an h4150 owner. I found out from the Bluetooth website through no small feat in site searching that the h4150 does not have native support for the profile itself (correct me if I'm wrong, HP!). So that means any A2DP stereo profile compliant Bluetooth widget (what a mouthful!) won't work without special drivers (see HP/Logitech-OEM Stereo Headphones).
