This would seem reasonable, though I'd think the "only on idle" feature would provide a suitable workaround for XBMC/Xbox users wanting the scanning to be handled by a single device (the Xbox).
However, I would hope that the Xbox variant would still implement the feature at the display and/or NFO level (perhaps similar to this "supplemental nfo" request), if, in the end, XBMC/Xbox lacks the ability to do the deep media scan, itself.
Further, with the ability to pull this supplemental info from a NFO file paired with the media file, the media info scanning could also be handled by external library utilities (XBMC Media Companion, DVDProfiler, MeD Movie Manager?) or homemade scripts.
