Hmm... two out of three ain't bad...

Don't forget that the BC is only one part of the diver's buoyancy -- the lungs may even be a higher volume system than the BC is, for people diving thin exposure protection and aluminum tanks. You cannot insure neutral buoyancy with a BC simply by having it assess volume or pressure -- it has to sense depth and delta D, which is what I meant by it being annoying for those of us who have learned to use lung volume to make small excursions over obstacles, or under something.
I still think it's intriguing, but it's more complex than it looks at first.
