That sounds like a great solution to the problem, and one which will
be useful for other scripts.  For example, Marek was talking abouat a
light OS detection script which could use nmap-os-db data (he actually
already wrote one which uses p0f data).

Please check this in when you are comfortable that it is well enough
tested.

This does need to be documented though, I'll send you details on
editing scripting.xml.
