I haven't given much thought to the details of your proposal, but a couple 
suggestions:

- This should probably use DMDZ (or is it ZDMD?), or be built on-top of it.

- It should probably be possible for the mapping file to be specified as a 
URL, and there should be a default official URL (at dsource.org or somewhere 
like that), and a set of official backup mirror URLs (which could be updated 
whenever the the system connects to the official URL).
