I agree with the queries of course.
My only concern is with the media explicitation: i was more thinkin about:

providername:media?constraints=value&constraints....

so for example we have:
flickr:media?text=birds // to search single photos
and
flickr:mediaCollection?text=nyc // to search albums

and this would apply also to youtube where mediaCollection would be
identified as playlist. This would ease an eventual browsing backend written
for the browsing applet.
Of course this works only if each web service handles one single media type
so i'm not 100% sure whether this would be the right approach.

Thoughts?
