You bet me to it :)
Though thanks to Mike and Ashley for making the point. :)
To go back to the original idea, what is needed is actually an explain
harvester/cross searcher so there's one server to go to that can find
others based on their explain information.
This wouldn't be difficult to set up, obviously, but does require people
to implement explain apart from Cheshire, Copac, Bell Labs and IndexData's
in house servers.
