NOOOOOOOOO! :D

For this kind of stuff, we should completely (== as much as possible) ignore 
the service itself. So instead of a youtube engine, we create a videoengine 
(which itself uses youtube as a backend). The backends are interchangeable, so 
if today youtube is hot, and tomorrow blip, we can easily change it in the 
client plasmoids.

Same goes for other webservices.

Overall your advice is good, of course, just for the case of "generic 
webservices", we've started to go into that direction.

Cheers,
