You're not the only one drooling over this possibility. But it won't

What problem do you have with it? It emulates open-by-inode-number
with some metadata in the mode bits, basically.
That's oversimplification but it was designed to be efficient.
Sorry for the confusion. It's not the way the layout is done, but
that it is done at all.
AFS is not intended to solve the "share your local filesystem" problem. It
was designed as a scalable, manageable distributed filesystem, and many of
its features depend on the fact that all file access is via the fileserver.
The two problems are very different, and require different solutions.
