That sounds good to me. I think the separation of concerns that you 
describe in this approach would satisfy Chris's architectural goals. A 
minimal web interface could be used to configure the service and select 
a data source; for complex data this could be app-schema or some other 
provider.

Kind regards,
Ben.
