Stephen,

Your modifications sound interesting.  I'm not sure how interested in this
the general community is.  A good first step for gauging interest (and
whether the modifications can be easily put into the core) would be to place
a page in our wiki (http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki) detailing your changes,
rationale, etc. for the community to review.  From there we can see which
parts would best fit into the existing core and which should be an optional
plugin.

Thanks
-Scott
