I'm considering it but there must be a way to protect the air in and around a players creation other wise bad things can happen to builds .
I really liked this bukkit plugin, not for all the other 'fancy' block placements but just for plot/city plot protection. http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/preciousstones/
Maybe instead of doing what they did you emphasize on your idea (because that is a great idea and how a lot of games work) but when placing a block maybe X radius around said block is now protected from being manipulated by other players unless allowed by owner of new 'field'
Allow the option for admins to change the radius that is protected, even more advanced... bp.radius.default.10 bp.radius.admin.60 allowing groups to have bigger radius of protection
Another feature that it has is it can draw a temporary outline in glass of the radius that is being protected that would also be a good addition to this the ability to see what is and is not protected.
This feature is for protecting you from grief so it's always nice to know where your protection is weakest.
