It needs a lot of work.  It's rather top level, and mixes architectural,
implementational, and policy concepts together, without backing them up
with rationale as to WHY.  Perhaps try breaking your points down into a
bulletized fashion, and organizing them into "requirements/policies" and
"architecture", and leave the implementational details (like use of
MySQL, Perl, etc.) for later...

An alternative approach I might suggest is to just go ahead and code up
a functional prototype of your ideas, that can be played with.  Working
code is worth reams of documentation, and is usually more fun to make.  ;-)
