I'm no expert, but seems this would require Tor becoming a P2P network, 
which requires in some manner, transmitting IP addresses to each other.  
However, Tor IP addresses aren't exclusive to any one user at any given 
time.   Your idea is that Tor network would cloak the true identity of 
one user from another?

Since Tor users often have enough trouble accessing some sites now, how 
would using others addresses provide any more success or anonymity?  
Besides, now one can get a new IP address w/ a click, or specify exit 
nodes in specific countries.  As I see it, the problem is some sites 
don't like TOR EXITS, which they can identify & that multiple users are 
coming from the same address.
