Your "examples" of Jack-as-Jones make me picture him being the driving force behind The Bermuda Triangle. Sort of a "this is as far as I'm bothering to go" sort of thing (though The Bermuda Triangle is kinda huge - I still see Jack trying to cut corners :p).
But seriously, Jack seems to already have a unique niche in (the PotC Universe's) Sea Lore. Everyone already knows his name (even those of a more supernatural bent) and they seem to have good reason to love or hate him. Jack Sparrow already holds the position of, well, Jack Sparrow.

And I'm still attached to the idea of Will becoming Davey Jones. :p I've read the freaky "rough draft script" now, and I think I can use it to support my feeling. The whole possibility of Elizabeth-as-Calypso (which, admittedly, is the freakiest part of the freaky "rough draft script") would perfectly set up Will as her star-crossed lover. Or it could set him up as her perfect mate, which, with the marriage of Calypso and her lover, might perhaps be another way to end "the reign of Piracy" begun by The Brethren? (I'm just playing devil's advocate for that last bit. I do hope that nothing to do with Calypso comes to pass. O_o )
Then there's Tia Dalma's hint of Big Things To Come for Will, with her "touch of destiny" line - I like to think it wasn't just thrown out to make Jack look jealous.
