I'd think the way to do this would be for everyone to document their
public services in an extension (.BEGIN-PUBLIC-SERVICES?) to the
existing INFO.TXT file.   Then have CHIMPY or somebody harvest those and
post the results on a web page.

Yuck. While I won't prevent someone from doing this, regularly scraping that file, hoping for a standardized, usable format, seems optimistic and heavy. :-)

Seems noone have such a web resource around, so I guess I'll drop the idea for now.

There was someone who (for a while?) tried to have a network map around. Is that still up somewhere? It would be even nicer to get something superimposed on a real map.
