What would be nice is a mini-cd iso or similar which would boot the machine with a network connection and download the rest of the required packages via http/https/ftp.

Going DVD-only would require that anyone who has an interest in SX:CE to have a dvd burner to burn the dvd image to disc. I suggest making a minimal/bootstrap cd iso image available to download so that you could use it to install the bulk of solaris over a network (say, from a loopback mounted dvd image over nfs ...I'm assuming there's a way to tell the install program to load files from an nfs mount? Googling hasn't given me a clear answer on that). My first choice would be to keep the cd-install isos available, but if that's already been decided against; I'd request making a small bootstrap iso available to download along with the dvd image.
