BD-RE media can be formated in UDF2.5 and Nero 7.2.3.2b supports "verification" (although I don't know how to disable it). Thus I would think it has the same function as DVD-RAM for data use.

I'm still wondering though. It seems like there's not enough emphasis on the PC data use, or at least it gets much less press. Verification isn't as much of a concern (since that can be done in software and backup software does exactly that) as is defect mgmt (general data use) and media robustness (if I scratch a backup disk, does the high density of data make that disc a coaster? That would be too delicate. Perhaps there should be cartridges?).
