Yes, I do.

I think my suggestion would be to allow UC talent to substitute for a 
weapon in my suggested rule, and to add that the 3/DX roll to get someone 
in HTH is a to-hit roll, so if something like Defending, Blur, and/or your 
UC skill makes you harder to hit, then you are also harder to get into HTH. 
Seems effective, no special rules are needed, and so also if someone has 
revised the UC talent rules, it will naturally work with these rules 
without any special tinkering.

Y'know, me too, darn it...
