How fast of a rate would you need it? I don't know the answer to where the data could be obtained, that's why I asked the initial question about whether or not this would be possible.
It'd need to be available at rendering time; if a cache miss occurred, it would need to be queried there and then.
Umm, not if you designed it so the "cache" was big enough. Then you'd only need to perform the lookup once - presumably when the reference is first added.
I don't know how fast people would adopt it or how many such tags would be inserted in a short period of time, so estimating the worst case is a bit hard.
I can't possibly answer your question of "Who's going to allow us to query this stuff at the rate we need it?" then.
