I did search those places, and they didn't have any definitive answers
to the questions I was asking. And to me, ejecting the disc has
nothing to do with UDF itself, just how Adaptec implements their Eject
behaviour in their driver.

Also, contrary to your "No" response via email, Adpatec DO extend /
patch windows explorer's right click menu for the CD drive, allowing
you to select "Format" and "Eject", both of which hook back into
Direct CD (2.5d). Try it. That's probably going to turn out to be the
way to solve the problem for me. The only other option is
automatically driving DirectCD's Windows like someone else suggested,
but from past experience that can be unreliable.

I CC'd the message to your email in case you missed the followup, this
is default behaviour for me. Sorry that it offended.

As for the other, the whole purpose of cross-posting is to cover the
case where multiple groups basically cover the same topics, and there
isn't just one definitive group on the subject. Some developers only
read the microsoft.* hierarchy. Other CD specific developers would
skip that totally and just read the cdrom groups. I did think this one
through carefully, and apart from the .misc group which was just a
"cover all" inclusion, I don't spot a group on the list which this
topic isn't relevant to. What I did spot is that the cross posting
caught a bunch of people who are also having the same problem, and
have emailed me privately asking me for a copy of any info that I
manage to get on this one. Certainly no other complaints though.
