What's standard practice right now?  Are users pointing to the 
boilerplate page, or are they pointing to custom pages which contain 
contact info?  I'd bet they're pointing to the boilerplate page, which 
suggests to me that a web service to edit and maintain custom pages 
(with contact info) would be a win.
