As I said very near the beginning of this thread, I think the plan for 
Jaunty in this area is very nearly carved in stone.  

After a quick read, I think the idea has potential and you should look into 
it for Jaunty+1.  I'd use the time to flesh out the design and perhaps 
protoype it.  Then you'd be ready for the next UDS and getting this 
approved.
