Magnus, you are clearly dead-set that your idea is the best.
However, you have missed the point that the SFN is designed purely to offer a temporary and rudimentary anchor for preloading headset bearings. Once you fit a stem correctly the star nut/top cap arrangement becomes largely redundant.
Ed "uncle bulgaria" scoble's idea is better in my opinion and tynan's points are completely valid.
