Technically you are right, but its difficult to communicate that in the 
market. Using 'accepted' methods like MOS (or variations thereof) makes 
discussions with other parties a lot easier.

Yes, that would be excellent indeed. Problem is that the location of 
measurement will influence the scoring :) If you have good ideas towards 
this we'd be very interested in participating.
