Not a huge idea, but I think glowing redstone ore (when stepped on/updated) should emit power. It would work somewhat like a pressure plate placed on top of a block, just without the pressure plate. It would emit power in all directions, possibly excluding up.
Some applications of this:
It would work as a simple and easily-built BUD switch
It would work like a pressure plate on a block, but the block would be able to be moved by a piston an still emit power (normally, the pressure plate would pop off the block).
It would only make sense. I have been wanting this to be added for a while too, actually... But I have a question. If redstone blocks would be able to be power sources, could they also be used as wires?
An interesting idea. I can't say I have anything against it nor can I say that there's no reason it shouldn't be (in respect to established conventions and whatnot, ate least) implemented.
... I can't really see why it would be practical, though. I guess it would be a pretty good BUD, but... I don't really see myself actually using it for anything. Then again, I'm far from a redstone wiz, so... I'm probably not the best person to comment on it.

Are you always so pessimistic?
Yes, yes I am. A pessimist is always either right, or pleasantly surprised.

Egads..this is World of Warcraft meets Battlefield 1942 in a dark alley with way too much to drink and no discarded mattress nearby.

Just a thought

That was more or less my sentiment, yes. When I think about it, it'd probably make a pretty good BUD switch, I guess.
I am ninja'd far too often.
Why does everyone think I don't have an avatar? Is there anyone who can see the one black pixel.
