Hi Sten, That sounds really interesting to me. As you can see from the Aries proposal, there are already plans to provide a URL handler that can turn web applications into RFC 66 WABs (Web Application Bundles). The main difference between a WAB and a WAR is a number of headers in the MANIFEST.MF. The deployment model of RFC 66 is such a WAB file and Aries doesn't yet cater for an extender that understands these WAB files, so I think your proposed component would be very useful.
