It seems to me that it should be possible to expand dynamic range by firing off two (or three) frames on the same shutter press. It wouldn't work for sports, but for many shots even the motion in 1/5 second (assuming 5 FPS) would be acceptable. If the mirror is the limiting factor, maybe 1/50 second rather thant 1/5 second between frames would be doable.
Especially since a lot of the time when I have rough dynamic range issues, I'm already shooting at something like 1/10 second, so two frames of 1/10 second and 1/80 or 1/160 second would be a good match, and the "stutter" between the two frames would be negligable compared with the blur. -- The fastest way to get your question answered on the net is to post the wrong answer.
