Ribbon, planar magnetic, electrostatic omni-driver

I seem to have discovered my favorite flavor speaker design, that is the omni speaker.
Has anyone created this type driver or is one being developed?
Mbl is a great speaker, haven't other designers considered this method of sound dispersion?
I believe a planar magnetic omni driver would be a killer.
Any thoughts on this?

IIRC, there was an IEEE article, maybe in the mid 1980's, on "coaxing" omni response from planars using a technique call something like Hoffman Encoding. AFAIK, it never went anywhere commercially. A couple of hours on google might get you the paper, though.
