inverted blinds, why not?

[unperson]

In "Omaha Poker" by Bob Ciaffone, he suggested that the game would be improved if the size of the blinds decreased as they got further away from the button, which is the opposite of conventional blind structure. This is so the person with the greatest positional handicap has the biggest incentive to enter the action, stimulating the game.

This seems like a great idea for all forms of poker that use blinds, but unfortunately tradition dies hard as he says. How do you think it would change the games, and do you think these changes would be an improvement? I imagine blind wars would be very different, with the small blind rarely just giving up.
