You might also be interested in Zeldman's coverage of this concept at <http://www.zeldman.com/daily/0704d.shtml> - including the hassle that one UK coder experienced as a result...
I'd be very careful about publishing reworked versions of other people's copyrighted materials, even if you have the best intentions. Don't get me wrong - I applaud what you're doing, but these big corporations can play a lot harder than you.
Just my 2c.

Hi
I'm just floating an idea. I was quite interested several months ago in
re-doing some big non-standards sites like slate.com into standards
compliance for my portfolio. I also just wanted to find out if I had the
skills to meet the challenge.
It was a really interesting experience when I forced myself to re-create
what was once a tabled site just using CSS and XHTML. I re-markedup the
home page of afl.com.au over a period of about a month. And when I told my
after-work project to a few designers, they were really interested in it.
So I created a website to explain what I was doing.
It's at http://pagesauce.com/
Just tell me if I'm just plain nuts, ok? Or if I just the whole thing wrong.
