It's not clear to me how what you describe is different from Open Search as supported by e.g. a9.com

I liked the pointer to the metrics article; I took a stab at listing some potential metrics myself in a recent presentation. I wonder if it would be worth wiki-ing up a list of possible scholarly metrics in order to gather ideas in one place.

I am assuming that now that this idea is in the ether the page will appear within a few weeks. It seems that these clever little sites/aps are springing up like mushrooms at the moment. The brilliant or the wacky is being originated, and imaginative mergings of existing ideas are joining them at a staggering rate. As a relative newbie to the observation of new media trends, I'm not sure if this is normal. Have good online ideas always been produced at this rate?

Certainly, Google would rather have you bringing other people's content into the "Google platform" than they would taking their services/content elsewhere. (See the discontinuation of the google search api).

So, yeah, I think Google would like to do what you're talking about.
