i think many of our users would really appreciate such an addition to their 
command line to make it easier for them to learn the command line and figure 
out what options are available to them.

something that occured to me: you may be able to expand the content in the 
commands.xml file by processing output for $COMMAND --help

there will be cross-platform issues, of course, but that could be sorted out 
in a fairly straightforward manner (different command.xml files)

have you thought about releasing your application on kde-apps.org so others 
can use it? that way you can get more feedback and perhaps even code 
contributions =)

as for making it into konsole itself, you should ask the current maintainer 
about that... but i do think it's a good idea =)
