This is an interesting idea. MIF WG had the idea of PVDs. ALTO WG has the 
idea about "application-layer traffic optimization", and a server to tell 
you information. ALTO also has its own discovery mechanism for how to find 
the ALTO server. CAPPORT has its own proposal to do that. MIF also had 
PVD-prooposal, now being done in INT-AREA.

To me all these solutions seem to be very closely related in 
solution-space, and I wish we could all agree on one mechanism that could 
work for all use-cases.

It seems to me that you're now suggesting yet another one?
