I think that's an interesting tack for a directory to take, and I'd be interested in seeing the directory that resulted from it (as well as seeing how such a directory would be able to cope with spam and junk submissions.)

But it wouldn't be a human-edited directory at that point. What it would be is a more advanced model of a freeforall-style directory, with a certain amount of human oversight. Definitely not the niche the ODP is filling, nor anything the ODP would be likely to want to give up its niche to become. You'd need an entirely different type of volunteer editor for the Freeforall-Plus directory endeavor. But if you could figure out a way to keep it from being overwhelmed by spam, I say go ahead and go for it. :-)
