Very clever, a modification of the autobaudrate function that used to be popular. I suppose you'd be limited to fairly low bit rates (relative to clock speed) to get some resolution on the capture. In some apps (distributed polled sensors perhaps) it could work well (retry in case the slave gets the baud rate measurement wrong due to noise). Have you actually tried this?
