   I found out, directly from Apple, what the problem was.   
      
   I'm not at liberty to provide the details, but my neighbor, who is very   
   high in the Apple hierarchy, filed a RADAR internal bug report for me.   
      
   After a week of discussing the problem, and even with my high-level access,   
   Apple pulled the typical stalling & denial (can't reproduce) tactic, I   
   stood my ground and asked Apple to answer one question to my satisfaction.   
      
   Q: Why, when I followed all Apple's published rules, am I in their WPS db?   
   A: The answer came back that they don't respect the fact my SSID is hidden.
