Mike, your 24 Hour Party People workflow sounds a bit like what Bad Robot is doing for the J.J. Abrams films. I believe they use Video Satellite and have Pro Tools editors constantly conforming and maintaining 5.1 temp mixes which get bounced back to Avid.
It seems like a good way to work if the production can afford it. But I'm not sure all that reconforming is much fun.

What we came up with is how I've worked features ever since. When the picture editor moves on to another scene he passes the cut to protools. The protools guy takes a brief and builds it out with incidental effects, rough level balancing music, effects and dialogue. He then sends a stereo track to the assistant editor who drops it on the scene master timeline and the show master timeline. This means every presentation has a temp mix in place.
