"pump fluid from brake caliper to clutch
slave cyl., back up into reservoir" (to remove air from clutch slave).

Novel approach. But
this assumes the air/fluid will separate once
into the reservoir from the clutch slave, and
won't "mix".

And I do not believe this will occur. I believe
instead this will "aerate" the fluid
in the reservoir, contaminating all of same with embedded air molecules. 

Now eventually,
this "entrained" air will work itself out but
in the meantime, you'll have a less effective
pedal for both systems???

Anyone see it differently??
