Great idea, but I don't think Blizzard will give it a great polish. More or less, the mod writers are happy because the Threat information is no longer encrypted and they have access to anyone's threat at any given time. I think this was really Blizzards plan, just write something fairly basic and give the power to the writers who can really give it the polish it deserves.

I have a feeling that is the direction Blizzard intended. Much like using a SCTD over the built in scrolling combat text.

They'll polish it off a little, add some options to enable/disable... make it less spammy... but I doubt there will be a huge difference from the current implementation and the one that goes live.

However the API is wonderfully simple, it's a trivial matter to write a super tiny display addon (and yes, I certainly plan on making one myself).
