This is a really simple and strong proposal. It's amazing the power that a single url fetch request can have, although the ability to post data is probably necessary for a number of categories of work (for example, any location based apps). That these background services are not composable puts some limits on their potential usefulness, but it sounds like this plus the existing services would cover most bases.
