Juniper, just so they can play in a larger space in your network, will even propose that you use the MX as a core switch. While it is feasible (it understands pure Layer 2 switching) and has the older DPC-X cards that don't support IP, it really is a huge waste to use your MX as a switch. Same applies to Cisco proposing the ASR9000 as a switch. Why? The Cisco 6500/Nexus 7000 and Juniper EX8200 makes better sense for this. Mark.
