A friend and I have actually been bouncing around ideas for an urban fantasy novel loosely based on that article for a month or two now.
It's been done: Mad Maudlin, by Mercedes Lackey and Rosemary Edghill, takes just this material, transplants it to NYC, and ties it into Lackey's contemporary elf-universe. (And particularly with Edghill involved, the results are pretty good.)
Which is not to say that it couldn't be done again or elsewise, but one would want to be sure that there wasn't too close a resemblance.
