If you take away mark to market and allow banks to claim a certain amount of reserves based on mark to maturity or mark to model, that will not convince other banks that a particular institution has enough real reserves to survive serious pressures from depositors or damage from BK's in institutions whose debt they hold in their asset base.

I suspect your idea was considered and discarded in favor of creating an actual, functioning market in distressed debt for the major players.

Just my guess from outside.
