Yeah, the idea of a track frame plus a disc fork has crossed my mind. There's just something a bit 'cock-eyed' about it, but I realize that's me being a fussy bastard. Do you reckon if you pull both brakes on hard when that dog runs out in front of you, you get vaguely even braking, or are you going to end up going over the bars?
It would open up a whole raft of other options though so I'm not ruling it out, especially as all the decent frames are out of stock in my size (5'10" medium generally), and some of the nice kit doesn't seem to be available in the UK (was just eyeing a Felt Breed which would make a great starting point but is US only).
The search goes on ...
