We've talked about this before.  I don't know if SF has the technology
to do it, but there was also a concern about abuse.  We'd have to have
some sort of validator that proved (1) it was actually a symbol or
footprint, and (2) it was syntactically correct.  I don't think we
solved that problem, although I think there's a wiki somewhere.

If you want to find that discussion in the archives, it's the time
when I demonstrated how to print "porn" (ok, just a picture of me) on
a PCB using vias, to demonstrate a worst case scenario.
