Does the PC/SC Specification work with memory cards?

The current PC/SC Specification 1.0 does not support memory cards. From a technical point of view, only some readers can support memory cards. Some reader manufacturers might support memory cards in a proprietary way. The PC/SC Workgroup is investigating how to support memory cards in a standard way, but this will not be a mandatory feature for all PC/SC readers. A PC/SC member company recently asked for consent to use ATR-like data to identify memory cards, and the Workgroup had no objection to this approach.
