Summary: 

The remedy of toeing-in the brakes fascinates me.  I can see this
working for a while, but what happens when the brake pads wear down
a bit and are once again parallel to the rim?  Then do you toe-in some
more?  (No, obviously not.)  Replace the pads?  Well, why not adjust the
pads in the first place, and not the brake levers?

On the other hand, maybe I'm missing something here...
