vite, you can dream. But it's like trying to imagine how a 1957 deSoto could be used to generate radioactive isotopes (really very simple, once you replace the motor with an atomic pile). The processes, databases, and so on would have to be too different from what they are now, for information to be either available, publishable, or meaningful -- let alone all three!

And that's without even discussing the adversarial relationship between the "unique content" mission of the directory, and the source of 90% of site suggestions.

I can't imagine the ODP techies seriously considering implementing anything like this in the foreseeable future.
