This has been a topic of discussion before. I remember an article in the 
last 15 years or so indicating that perhaps the best way to enhance 
digital contesting is to develop a special protocol for contest exchanges.

Of course, such a mode would appear to further remove the human element 
from contest operation.

No one says you can't enjoy the mode. I do.
