I'm not sure I understand that argument.  BIO's *are* separate, in
their own "module", if you wish to express it that way.  They just
happen to be used by OpenSSL as transport, which I see as a feature,
since that makes it possible for the application programmer to make
his own (I'd like to see you do your own FILE * or thingy controlled
through file descriptors).

I wonder, is it really BIO's that are your problem, or the fact that
SSL itself (the handshake, most particularly) makes non-blocking I/O a
bit tricky?  Just trying to set the record straight...
