Here's another idea, since freestyle is actually creating geometry, what if
it was actually done as a modifier? It could do exactly the same thing,
generating geometry (and vertex colours/UVs?) aligned to the camera view
vector. The cool thing about it being a modifier is that you'd be able to
preview how it would look in the 3D View, and it would be really there, not
just a shading effect, so you could layer other modifiers on top, it could
cast shadows, etc.

Something to think about...
