This is precicely the best way to do implement software shaders, if I 
understood things correctly, and this is what SoftWire / SwiftShader does. 
SoftWire is an open source project(C++), Transgaming hired its developer and 
development went on in a propritary way and is now known as SwiftShader. No 
idea if SwiftShader ever had any practical use though. It is a Software D3D 
rasterizer that is said to deliver approximately the performance of Intel 
integrated cards.
