Has anyone ever thought whether it's possible to turn the BBC itself into an 
EPROM burner that'll cope with the common BBC ROMs?

In theory don't you just need some software and a little carrier board that 
could intercept the programming pin and apply the relevant higher programming 
voltage to the device from a separate supply? In other words, the machine has 
all the necessary addressing built in, which is the more complex bit when 
building a standalone programmer...
