I'm also on the tentatively okay side.  It looks sound, and should work,
but I always get a little tentative when we deal with the "who handles
what" type questions, as I'm a bit over my head on those most of the
time.  I'd say that if nobody sees anything that looks outright wrong we
should go with it, as you seem to have a better understanding of how
that sort of thing should go than we do.
