Hue bulb without Hue Bridge?

I see that there’s a device type for “Zigbee Hue Bulb” and that a new single Hue bulb is detected by the ST hub as this when I search for new devices. It seems to pair, but doesn’t respond to commands. Is there support coming for talking to Hue bulbs over ZLL without the hub? I picked up this bulb for $20 from a company that was getting rid of some of their tradeshow/marketing displays and had a spare new-in-box Hue bulb. Not the end of the world if I need to get a starter pack to put it to use, but if support is coming soon (or ever) I may hold off. Any word? Maybe something in beta (I’ll be a guinea pig if you need testers)?
