lets not talk about hydraulics unless they are implemented by major groupset makers (possibly starting at tier 3 groupsets like 105/rival/athena) in terms of cable pull, not much of a diff really AND the reduced weight of no braking surface on a tubular + the added weight of BB7 > weight of Tubular with braking surface and decent caliper brakes.
The more I think about the disc brake on road bike thing the more it makes me think that its a conspiracy to sell tubular rims ; )
