The only problem I see with a brake light enabled recharging system is that it wouldn't work for dedicated hypermilers. I don't consider myself a hypermiler, but I hardly ever use my brakes. I always engine brake as it puts my car into DFCO. Others without DFCO sometimes just cost in neutral to avoid using their brakes or engine off coast.
For those who do use their bakes regularly, I think it'd be a great system.
