As BMAN has said, we have told him and the rest of the world what ST wants, a commercially available Hooker brake. Heck, if Andy can sell one for $450, commercial ones would sell for $200 front alone. Pretty good ROI considering it could basically use cantilever technology. Plus, people have set up a Hooker in the rear (with some tweaking but could be made to work if redone from scratch):

While that would be sweet, don't discount the applicability of a brake with an offset arm and integral cable stop. For example, I took a couple of pics of the Scott Plasma 3 at Interbike specifically to show Matt how his brake would fit. (I'm sure the Felt frames could take advantage of it as well).




Besides...Matt's brake tests out fairly aero as it is ;-) I'd put it up against that EE brake any day.
