Before you spend any more time on this, I think you should be aware of the terms of service for Yahoo Maps: http://info.yahoo.com/guidelines/us/yahoo/ydn/ydn-3955.html
"With the Yahoo! Maps APIs, you may NOT re-use Yahoo! Maps imagery without the API..."

Google Maps has a similar restriction. Basically you cannot use their image tiles for anything other than their own API (if you could we would already have provided these datasources for you 🙂

Bing maps is the only datasource I know where there's an option for using their tiles outside their own API.
