Your main problem I suspect is "selling" xAP to TB. 
There seem to be two routes to this:
1/ Talk to them direct
2/ Discuss it on their support list.  If there are enough "me
too" voices 
asking for it, then TB will probably do it.  Of course, that means
trying to 
explain xAP to a load of damn yanks on the list :-/

I think the best you could hope for is them pushing a message out the right
TCP 
port to tell you something has changed - there is already control over the
AT 
via the HTTP interface, so they are unlikely to implement _another_ control
mechanism....
Getting the status back should be enough for someone to be able to write a
PC 
side app that controls the AT and receives xAP response messages from
it.  Said 
app could, of course also generate an xAP version of the command it sent
for 
any interested xAP devices out there.....

just my 0.002p worth,


Tony
