Just a personal comment on your idea: Yes, it would be nice to enable the other 80% to run their own hidden web server, just by moving files into folders and clicking Next-Next-Finish. And I think this would improve Tor. The question is, whether this is a task for the core Tor. What I personally like about hidden services is that they are free from any specific protocol. You can run a web server, an ftp server, a chat server, or whatever. Maybe it's just a question of bundling Tor with other applications. I could rather imagine a package with Tor, Vidalia, Privoxy, and a pre-configured small web server that listens only to local requests. Plus a one-page installation instruction with screenshot how to enable the hidden server using Vidalia. Then we could address at least 60 out of the 80% other users, without having to change Tor at all.
