Yes, credit to Shannow on that idea.
A trivial modification I would suggest is XW(HTHS x10), then it would be similar to the old grades for the general consumer.
Using the HTHS values above:
Edge 5W30 A3/B4 becomes Edge 5W36
M1 0W40 FS becomes M1 0W36
M1 5W30 becomes M1 5W31
M1 5W20 becomes M1 5W28 (rounding up)
This is a great idea and I believe BITOG should adopt this system. Doubt it will ever gain mainstream use, even though "dino" oil did.
