How would one access this protocol support, does the OS already support it, is it merely disabled?

the device has the needed additional hardware support for it (something I don't know if the C7 or the N9 really have), and there is the needed software support for that in the firmware, you could use a secure element within the UICC..
This whole paragraph is ambiguous to me.
Additional hw support for what? What's the UICC?
Can you please clarify what you're saying here.

So the lack of an eSE in the device doesn't pose any problem... as long as the SWP support is in place.
This is similar to what I've always hoped for, which is;
A SE can be added via some other means, that SE has NFC/SWP integrated, & that somehow the OS can hook into that.
But what you're suggesting it seems, is that one just adds a SE*, & the SWP/NFC built into the N9's NFC chipset is used.
Please correct me if I'm misunderstanding you.

*via SIM most likely but possibly other options.
