It could be arranged that edict.el would use your site, instead of the
local dictionary, by default.

Bu-wha-ha-ha-ha....

People who don't install edict locally because they can't hack pkunzip
are not using Linux.  And given disk prices these days, 5MB of edict + 
enamdict + kanjidic is tiny; heck, a full Unicode database is about
40MB and nowhere near as useful ;-)  I can't imagine any other reason
for not installing it.

Hey!  check your _ftp_ logs.  I bet every single one of those hits was
followed within 5 minutes by a download of the EDICT data and
software.
