Many NPC dialogues allow you to choose among Bluff, Persuade and Intimidate checks. For magical/spell related NPC/item dialogue checks however, usually you only have Spellcraft.

I have realized that UMD is meant to be a way for non-magical PCs to tinker with magical items, however I do not recall ever seeing any UMD dialogue checks. I believe most of what is now Spellcraft checks in COR could also be done with UMD.

I would therefore suggests adding the option to at least a few dialogues out there where Spellcraft check is being used.
