Hmmmm, this is a good idea, however rather than implementing it with DataRequests, we should implement it with the Handshake messages since we don't want nodes politely trying to find information for you - only to discover that it will be dumped when it is returned to the requester, that would be rude. I realise that this might lose a-little of the benefits you may have been alluding to here (ie. giving higher priority to nodes which can return the data more quickly, rather than just to those which can respond to Handshakes faster). Can anyone see any problems with this?
