I think the unit of operation should be something like 
customize-sparse-keymap with a corresponing custom widget for sparse 
keymaps.

As I wrote before Drew's widget code for key bindings is probably a good 
base for  that code.

There are some difficult things to master:

- When should the customized keymaps be applied?
- How to deal with current code that setup the keymaps?

My suggestion would be to apply the customized keymaps at the end of the 
loading of the file that contains the definition of the keymaps. But I 
do not know if this is possible.
