[Wikipedia-l] map namespace?

Would there be interest in/nned for a "map:" namespace which returns a 
map image of given coordinates?

For a country, city, region, river, lake, mountain etc. one would type, 
say, "[[map:1.2.3:4.5.6]]" to get a rectangular map. That would be 
generated by some free map service (there are some, though I don't 
remember any URL).
That would avoid the copy'n'paste action of current maps on wikipedia, 
and save disk space ;-)

I thought I'd better ask before I try implementing...
