It makes a lot of sense! As a non-trivial sink device you already need comparators or ADCs on the CC1/CC2 pins to determine cable orientation (and also available power from a dumb charger). The source needs a bit more logic (it needs to be able to turn some current sources or resistors on or off) but a source which is talking USB PD is probably already pretty damn complicated anyway.
I've been reading the USB-C and USB-PD specs lately and I keep alternating between "this is pretty well designed" and "i want some of what they're smoking at the USB-IF" Anyway I think USB-PD over USB-C is the first protocol I've come across to implement what I'm terming VSMA/CA (Voltage Sense Multiple Access/Collision Avoidance) as a channel access arbitration strategy
