Javaslinger and Phoenix-D,
These area both great ideas, and already being worked on. There is a SEIV play by web site that is being beta tested right now. It looks very promising.
If you are interested in getting involved, search the forum here for "Play by Web" and you should find a couple threads. One of them will have an email you can contact Admiral to sign up.
Here's the thread. I went ahead and looked it up to make it easier on you.
