You didn't mention FUT, so I'm ignoring this bit.

I agree.
Hmmm... I'm thinking something along the lines of slightly changing the
charter for .db.inv (or alternatively, creating a new group).

I'd rather not see db.inv's charter changed.  I think a new group would be
better.  Actually, the true, proper solution is a queryable database.
Maybe that's why Todd Lehman is staying out of the discussion.   That, and
the fact that he's probably busy -- maybe he just wants us to figure it out
and make a recommendation/request?

Now, I'm not sure if if Todd would want this; but maybe. Anyone got some
better ideas? I'd love to hear somone squash my theory! ;-)

Ideally, and eventually, we might have an all-sets automated DB... with a list
of parts, each crossref'ed to partsref... and clicking on a part would give
you the list of sets in which it appeared, and--

Yep, that's the ticket.  I like Tim Vattima's work, except it's not
searchable.  And the partnames are sometimes obscure.

The scary thing is, all it takes is a flat file with all the data and a
couple of queries/searches to return the data.  Then it's just a SMODE[1].
