Bit of a necro, but I found this idea extremely interesting. I made a rough outline of addon functionality:

Code:

- What do you want to broadcast?
    - PvP:
        - Generic Objectives
        - Enemy killing blows
        - Etc
    - PvE:
        - Generic Objectives
        - Raid Boss deaths
        - Etc
- What do you want to see broadcasted to you?
    - PvP:
        - Generic Objectives
        - Enemy killing blows
        - Etc
    - PvE:
        - Generic Objectives
        - Raid Boss deaths
        - Etc
- Which channels do you want to broadcast in?
    - Party
    - Guild
    - Battleground
    - Raid
    - Etc
- Which channels do you listen to for broadcasts from other people?
    - Party
    - Guild
    - Battleground
    - Raid
    - Etc

Of course, this entirely depends on the number of people that install the addon, so it could be something awesome or something that never catches on. I'll have some free time in December, and I'll see where this goes once I'm able to start playing again.
