Feature Brainstorm - Notification Engine - For New Media & Third Party Apps

While their are XBMC and WMC (i.e. VMCController) notification overlays... but what about a central HTTP notification engine that would be fed by new media, messages to other MB server users, or 3rd party applications for home automation?

 

Ideally it would support text notifications (title, message, timeout). Pictures (of boxart or webcam), and later Video (webcams or new media trailers (with no sound)) without impacting the currently playing program. 

 

However, I don't know if this is a smart digression for MB team, which is focused on providing a great media experience.   

 

PS - I'm working on a WMC and Vera Plugin, but just getting started programming LuuP.   Assmuning that the MB would accept http get or telnet notification engines, I could also port this to Media Browser (if ever successful as a cut and paste Luupcoder) to gain exposure from the Home Automation community. .
