I had a very similar solution (in functionality at least) that I helped put together with Ian Bicking and that was in Joyride builds in the very early days of Update.1 preparation. It was motivated by the desire to address the types of issues we were having now. It was excluded from Update.1 due to undiscussed issues associated with including a dynamic webserver. I helped SJ draft a document rationalizing the need for a dynamic solution -- although perhaps the recent troubles we've had have made the need more acute and more obvious to people. I've been an advocate of this for quite a while and have no strong feelings about which solution we use. I only have process questions about how and when this code can go live. On a more practical note, I can certainly help you with several of those bugs.
