dynamic difficulty retarget seems a given.  what about dynamic rewards?  it sounds like a terrible idea...  i believe liquidcoin made an attempt at it, but hear me out a sec.  dynamic rewards plus dynamic difficulty would allow you to tune for a specific number of coins a day, regardless of network has rate.  that seems like a reasonable way to control inflation. 
Interesting but isn't this duplication? Isn't the purpose of difficulty to control the speed at which reward coins are distributed? Or are there other advantages too?
