This looks really nice!

I know that you can't really shape inbound traffic, but I think the 
killer shaper would start delaying TCP traffic as soon as total incoming 
bandwith utilization hits 75%. Unless somebody floods your link, it 
should work pretty effectively.

I've got no clue if it's possible with unpatched kernels... apparently 
IMQ can do this but you need to fiddle around with your kernel... drag :)

Cheers,
Jean-Michel.
