I think that seems mostly reasonable.  To the issue of links, you had a point way the f%$# up there about "why wouldn't a link to modDB be appropriate?"  In the midst of all the other points and counterpoints I was juggling I kind of forgot it, but your suggestion is reasonable.  However, in addition to a general mod link I think there should be links to one or two specific ones.  Before you ask, no, mine wouldn't be one of those; Zodiac, TNM, Reborn and HDTP are the candidates I had in mind.
