Actually, this is not at all conceptually dissimilar to something that I
was thinking about when myrddian and myself were coming up with the
details for the RLS spec (available from
http://www.dotgnu.org/spec/rls.htm) and the tokens spec (soon to be
released).  Take a look at the RLS in the meantime.  I should have the
tokens spec up soon.
