Of course, that's what BeebEF already does. The only thing is that not
everone uses BeebEF (bad, bad boys :). As an unbiased, objective,
independent and neutral observer (ahum) I think it's a great and very
functional tool, but I agree it takes some effort to put your existing
collection of BBC stuff into BeebEF.
