So, may it be a good idea to provide a page with links pointing to
such files?

In this case e.g. acer_aspire-1691.dsdthex, which would follow the name 
convention:
<manufactor>_<series>-<model>.dsdthex

Would it theoretically be even possible to load this hex stuff during
run-time through some kernel-interface, using an acpi userland app?
