Doesn't every QDisc work that way? When the kernel wants to send a packet, it calls the appropriate dequeue() function in the QDisc. I'm not a kernel developer so this guess might be wrong. But still, I don't think that the queueing is the main problem with your idea... the main problem is, how do you decide what's important and what not, and what's obsolete?
