Yes, this is much safer and more robust especially if the bus has
enumeration requirements like you're saying it does.  It's much easier
and more sensible to do this if the bus can be enumerated than it is
with SPI, USB would be a good example here I guess (though I've never
looked at the details of how USB does this on the implementation side 
so this may be me speaking in blissful ignorance).

I do agree that there will be use cases that turn up for this.
