Maybe you can create some kind of plugin or addon that can manage this 
kind of user specific modifications.. something like firefox extensions 
or something... this could be usefull tu provide other kind of tools 
that users think that can help or be nice to other users.. maybe some 
kind of scripting extensión could be nice..

Sorry if I don't know very much about MD programing structure.. but is 
an idea for all of you...

Regards,

Carlos
