i think the division of labour as you outlined makes perfect sense.

making it a plasmoid (or two ..) would be brilliant. but you'd expect me to 
say that, right? :)

whether to make it a dataengine or a dbus service living in kded (or wherever) 
probably comes down to whether or not there is a hard requirement on there 
being only _one_ place where this data is collected.

until we have Out-of-process (OOP) DataEngines (which is planned, and might 
even come in libplasma2), DataEngines are in-process, which means a DataEngine 
would need to collect the data itself and that would be replicated in each 
process that uses that. with OOP DataEngines this becomes a non-issue.
