Agreed. If we aren't careful we duplicate many services which are
already present (and working reliable) on the OS level. Thus, maybe
for such "distributed projects", a mechanism to export parts and to
re-integrate them together with a some "rights descriptor" would be a
solution.

I am thinking in a similar direction. My stream type system was done
with this usecase in mind: it should be possible to add a text
(document) media type via plug-in.
