Sounds like a nice idea. I realized however, that we need to make sure that we don't start proliferating protocols and ports that need to be open on a firewall. That to me was one of the major problems with AG 1. AG 2 goes a long way to fixing this, and will be one of the ways that I may be able to solve the perimeter problem to the satisfaction of the security folks (that is yet to be tested, though). Unfortunately, I think the trend is to more firewalls rather than less. I would hate to start crippling those unfortunate enough to have to live behind them.
