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.
