Peter,
First let me echo the other comments: it is an excellent idea, looks to be very useful and impressive. I am currently extending my family history site set up using phpgedview, building on googlemaps with specifics for events relevant to the history. I had thought about using overlays to bring the experience into the right timeframe but as you point out, the resolution and availability is weak. Rumsey's London map overlay in google earth is interesting though. Not sure if it could be used with google maps.
I do fiddle around with google maps using php and javascript but am certainly nowhere near expert. If there is something I could help with I'll see what I can do.
