...its only one more step for digital cameras to correct in the
processor for the distortion mapped from the lens.

It's already here, Jim. E-1 lenses are designed to communicate to the
camera information about their various optical shortcomings so the
camera software can fix them. See:
<http://www.olympusamerica.com/e1/index.html>
"Because each lens features "smart" technology as well, they are able to
intelligently communicate basic information with the camera body like
the type of lens being used and specific lens design information. This
transfer of data can compensate for certain lens characteristics like
shading and distortion. This smart technology also allows the user to
shoot with the most current firmware available for their E-1 components.
With the camera connected to an Internet-enabled computer, the simple
press of a button in the Olympus Viewer software activates a search for
the most current firmware version and updates the lens, flash and body
accordingly."
