I really like your idea.  If you combine that with full track cacheing
you'd have something.  The only problem is that:
1.  it only works for floppies -- people are moving to hard drives
2.  Getting people to convert will be difficult unless you can
convince all the non-hard drive people to convert.  Of course, when
they can affort hard drives they'll switch to the FFS.

It does make for a very interesting project.  Possibly a good project
that could get yourself published in the ACM and get some people
thinking about file systems that aren't sector based.
