This might work, though it would probably be easiest to configure the
"sharable" hosts outside DomTool, since I wouldn't really expect members
to be adding this capability to their vhosts.  /~user URLs are underused,
anyway, and people who are using them tend not to care so much about
details of URL appearance, since they didn't care enough to buy their own
domains.  Because of this, handling of userdirs doesn't seem like a
particularly crucial matter.

We can also use separate vhosts for traditional public_html view and the
base home directory view that cclausen suggests, perhaps with some
requirement to "opt in" for participation in the latter.

Since I can't resist taking this opportunity to make sure one aspect of
the DomTool 2 philosophy is clear: there will be no new keywords added to
support any specific configuration directive.  The language is expressive
enough that there shouldn't be a need.  New general features are possible,
though.
