I agree with all of that and I am still VERY enthusiastic about this tool :-) My only comment is that unfortunately everything takes time and we can't make a list of ideals and have them there tomorrow. The problem this causes is that it is very easy to get sidetracked! The idea of another auto-exposure method sounds great and a 'balanced histogram around middle point' sounds just what I would do (with manual adjustment moving the mid point). HOWEVER what you already have is quite workable and my own preference would be to add a, possibly crude, method of keywording before spending too much time on the auto exposure, after all Lightroom has a very good Auto button once they are there! Get all the abilities you envisage FRV having working in basic form first, then spend time improving them.
