H&L - I think you need to look at how your rig is set up.

When starting from a dead stop with clipless pedals, you can get going again by placing your heel on the pedal and getting some momentum.

you might also consider loosing up the pedal one one side of your bike to make clipping in/out easier - if you are comutting downtonw, the right makes sense as you can then rest it on a curb if availible.

Shorter crank arms may help you alter your set up.

I think the Idaho stop makes sense from the perspective on not losing all of your momentum - my guess is that this rule would ultinmately make motorist hate cyclists more....
