I realize this has absolutely nothing to do with your proposal, so
please forgive me. One thing I'd love to see with nmap is a daemon
with a RESTful API, similar to what nessus has. This would make it a
breeze to build web based tools on top of nmap -- I'm thinking
something along the lines of PBNJ, as well as IPAM tool integration.
Just a thought, in case anyone is looking for something to do.  :-)
