I think some of the people who are against it would take the offer, but I think from a company standpoint it is still a bad idea. I think there's just too much chance for things to go wrong. The most innocent kind of disaster--- one person seriously runs up the room charge, or someone is so inconsiderate as to make the other miserable--- you end up with co-workers who no longer work well together, and for the more serious disasters (sexual harassment, physical violence, etc), I don't think the company would be any less "sue-able" just because the employee opted for the room-share and bonus.
Plus, then everyone would be fist-fighting over the points!
