G'day,just for the record I have a working implementation of delegation, which allows to delegate some namespaces to an external component/entity.
With this (and in some case coupled with mod_privilege), you can use an external component/entity to manage features normally reserved to the server. A typical example is an external PEP (and it's the main motivation for these modules), but they could be used for other use cases.
To have an idea of the possibilities, here is the disco features managed by prosody with our experimental external PEP:
