I'm glad you like the idea and it doesn't sound like complete nonsense
from outside the Namecoin perspective.

Yes, that sounds interesting -- especially if other projects could
also benefit from it.

I think I'll simply start off with some proof-of-concept code that
patches the plugin directly.  If this later evolves into an
"authentication plugin" as soon as the architecture is available,
great -- I should be able to reuse most of the internal code and just
have to rewrite the interface.  Before this happens, anyone interested
can simply use the patched version of the OTR plugin to try it out.

Yours,
Daniel
