i am not sure i understand what you mean by a non-xbmc developer writing the code but tivo streaming did work in xbmp. i would too also like to see it work in xbmc someday. i still have my tivo setup with ccxstream, so that part is done, and i have even kept the tivo section in my xbmc config file (held over from the xbmp days) and even now i can see all the tivos now showing shows listed in xbmc, but when picking one the xbox locks up.
back when xbmp was being worked on someone did some magic to get tivo streams running. i don't know if they wrote a special codec for the ty streams, or if mplayer already supported it and xbmp just needed to tap in to that portion of mplayer or whatever. but it does seem like most of the difficult portion should have been done already when it was coded for xbmp.
i wish i knew more about programming, but to my simple mind it seems like someone who knows what they are doing would need to copy the relevent parts from the xbmp code and dump them in to xbmc in the right places and do some tweaking. i know there is more to it that that, but i too hope it is possible at some point.
