These all sound like excellent ideas; well done for taking it on.

It might be interesting for the modules to be able to call back into 
some of the more relevant server core functions.

An example might be registering dict attribute, attribute comparison 
functions and xlats, which then call back into the scripting language, e.g.:

# rlm_python example
def instantiate(config):
     attr = config.server.dict_register('Dyn-Attr', 'integer')
     attr.compare_func = my_compare

     config.server.xlat_register('dynaxlat', myxlatfunc)

...but I suspect that would be a *lot* of work.

I'm kind of interested in an rlm_javascript and rlm_lua which might be 
more accessible to people.
