Right now, it is scheduled either at start *OR* at shutdown.

This should change to both (and/or) - see some mockups here:

No, nothing like that, and it's not planned so far.

WPKG Client just executes wpkg.js.

Parsing XML is relatively fast so it doesn't make much sense to do it 
earlier.

Downloading files at boot, executing the installation on shutdown - yeah 
it is some idea, but it would need a lot of changes in both WPKG 
(wpkg.js) and WPKG Client. With majority of installers kept on a local 
server, I doubt it's worth the effort.
