Yes, I like the concept you presented. I can try to implement it in  
lircd as soon as I will find some time.
But my todo list is quite long, so don't hold your breath.

I'm only a bit concerned about scalability. It's easily possible to have  
hundreds of remote control definitions in your lircd.conf. Creating a  
device node for each of them will be very inefficient.

I only own a small fraction of the devices supported by LIRC myself. I  
could take over one or two drivers, but definitely not all of them.
