I think that it's only a matter of time before someone has a bad accident with an illegal setup like that and causes a lot of problems for all fixed/ss riders. Personally there's no way I'm going to trust my front teeth/forks/life to just one brake cable or just one chain.
I've had chats with people before about bikes, and "those bloody single speed bikes" have cropped up, before I have to explain that, actually, I ride a fixed gear.
