As long as this is included as an _option_ I would welcome it. I am not sure I would use it, as I know that a lot of publications I regard very highly do not actually use such an option. They have thinner staff lines for smaller staves.
(It's probably a good idea to make this request again after Fin2k4 Mac has been released. I don't think I am giving away anything if I say that inclusion in the first release of 2k4 is pretty impossible. It's certainly more likely to be considered for 2k5.)
