uhm... about this:

I did not say I support the idea... I'm simply passing on other peoples points of view... And if adding support for .AC3 in .MP4 is all it's going to take to get more people to move over from .AVI to .MP4 then it has to be worth considering.

If some app would support muxing AC3 into mp4, i really dont think anyone would care. AC3 in MP4 kinda weakens the point of using MP4. MPEG4 ASP + AC3 in MP4 does not have any realistic benefits over MPEG4 ASP + AC3 in AVI.
Other than that it would take away development time from things that truly are important ("converting" people from AVI to MP4 is not important, no one here benefits from that, only Nero. And it certainly isn't a good idea if you are going to do it by destroying the essence of MP4). If standalone manufacturers dont create devices with proper 6 ch AAC support they should fix that and not patch it with good old AC3.
