I think that is an excellent idea and one that I am also pushing here in Texas. We don't have abstractor licensing here but I believe access to the documents (online or off) should be limited to the "public" within the jurisdiction. This doesn't mean that someone would have to show that they are a resident of a certain county but they would have to be physically present to be considered a member of the public within the jurisdiction.

This is the only way our forefathers could have imagined public access. Could anyone have imagined that someday criminals would be able to rummage through papers belonging to the American public from halway around the world. The Constitution promises us all that our papers are safe from unreasonable search and seizure, but eveyday criminals and foreign agents  both search and seize our papers online for their own nefarious reasons.

I've also suggested that counties could easily set up short range Intranets from towers atop the courthouse that would have limited range that could not reach outside the jurisdiction. This type of system is cheap, efficient and vastly more secure than publishing the documents over the Internet.
