Sure, someday. I don't think it's worth it though until SM 3.0 is more standard. It's just too subtle an effect to justify the speed hit IMO. I think other effects like depth of field are much more obvious and dramatic.

FYI, You can do a pretty good approximation of the effect (although not quite as cool as real HDR) with a couple of passes of glow and overexposure lighting..
