That adapter looks like its primary function is to break the ports in portable devices by hanging them off of USB ports in PCs.... I though micro-A was for host mode, so you wouldn't be wanting a full-A female on it. If you wanted a full-A female, you should have micro-B, I thought.

But why mark it? It'll look just like a straight-thru adapter? Well, yeah, it'll look like a mini-b (male) to full-A (female) straight-thru adapter. So it won't get confused with the non-hostmode mini-B (male) to full-A (male) straight-thru adapters people have laying around, I would think...

Oh well, just make it ugly or permanent, but not both, and we'll be happy.
