It is not a proposal. It is a notion. Perhaps a whimsy, or a passing 
thought even.

Which is not to say that it is without promise. But it is also not yet a 
proposal.

If it does mature into a proposal, then maybe people will say it is a 
good one, or a bad one, or one which could be good with suitable 
amendments. Until then, it is hard to say much else.
