Jun 20, 2017 at 20:54 comment added macdonaldtomw thanks for the heads up @Ali Chen ! Looks like I probably want the port to be a "Standard Downstream Port" instead... as in grounding D+ and D- via two 15k resistors in order to limit the charging current consumed to 100mA
Jun 20, 2017 at 17:53 comment added Ale..chenski @macdonaldtomw, no, quite opposite: if you provide the DCP signature (D+ and D- shorted with less than 200 Ohms), modern device designed to Battery Charging specifications v1.2 can draw 5 A right away, see Table 5-2 of composter.com.ua/documents/BC1.2_FINAL.pdf
Jun 20, 2017 at 16:17 comment added macdonaldtomw Hey @Ali Chen, Isn't the higher-current (i.e. above 500 mA) requirement only applicable for devices that request a higher current using serial charge current negotiation protocols? In other words, if I just short the D+ and D- pins of the USB receptacle, then no USB-compliant device will ever attempt to draw more than 500 mA from the receptacle?
Jun 20, 2017 at 15:38 comment added Ale..chenski @macdonaldtomw, keep in mind that charging ports nowadays should deliver up to 3 A or even 5 A of current, while ~$1 connectors usually barely rated for 1.5 A. And the Assmann connector is just $1.92 at Digikey in qty.10

Jun 20, 2017 at 15:33 comment added macdonaldtomw Hmm, $5.40 for a USB type-C receptacle with insertion detection pin... no thanks!!! I'll stick with the $1.22 Type A connector with insertion detection pin for now! Thanks for the info
