Cool, the possibilities are endless, but I'll just share one thought as an example:

Ease of use for both developer and user

Are you guys planning on using

HildonGtkInputMode hildon_im_ui_get_current_input_mode(HildonIMUI *self)

This would allow application developers to specify keyboard preferences (alpha, numeric, custom, ..., etc.), and even change them on the fly. And this would allow the VKB developers and maintainers to have more reuse and modularity. For example, hildon_im_example_fkb and hildon_im_onehand_fkb could be under the same plugin. I'm pretty sure this is what Nokia is doing.

So far, we haven't really touched any of the code. It's one of the Nokia examples. This would certainly be possible, though, and I'd encourage you to contribute, if you want.

Take a read at http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=55371 for the Gitorious URL and other info.
