I understand the Roomba 560 is a special zigbee protocol. correct me if I am wrong, but I guess if I were to request a "feature" it would be a full fledged support for a zigbee usb stick that can actually talk to the roomba's special zigbee dialect and a plugin (as was done with the WeeMo)?

That's correct.

On a side note, that's pretty cool about the Roomba. What kind of features can you tell it to do using zigbee?

Yeah so what I could tell from this post is pretty much start/stop and schedule or recv schedule http://www.robotreviews.com/chat/viewtopic.php?t=13020&mobile=off

there is that kickstarter for a full on broad range radio

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mossmann/hackrf-an-open-source-sdr-platform?ref=homespotlight

I guess that'd provide a full spectrum for zigbee and zwave if one can emulate the protocols dynamically.

bring on the robot lawn mower.
