Hm, i wanted to give you my view on your suggestions but it seems you already closed the thread.

One thing you would need to consider is that escrowing is not really a work that is worth the time you invest monetarywise. I only know one escrow, i won't name him, who might be able to earn a considerable amount from it, but that's it.
So putting bitcoins into escrow with staff is like an investment on top, you can't access these coins. And i think that means already that a lot of escrows would stop doing escrow at all then.
I would write more but this is not the topic for it.
