That would be a great way to make caves. Some people have mentioned that some other engines do it, I don't know how they do it though, but your idea sounds like it would probably be the easiest to implement. If they could do that, then any subterranean structure should be possible, like basements and dungeons! Ooh, Dungeons! Sweet!
