This is something I already do, for the same reasons the author discusses:
http://www.t-nation.com/free_online_article/most_recent/improve_your_pull_instantly
Typically, I'll use a snatch grip up to 315 rather than get on risers, because, frankly, standing barefoot on cement pavers (stacked one or two high, to give a 1.75 or 3.5 inch deficit) is way less comfortable than having my feet on the rubber mats on my floor.
I haven't tried this approach explicitly with my trap bar, because I'm still using that with the 4" riser handles after doing heavy conventional pulls, so, effectively, I've already been pulling from more depth during my "warmups"... but I'd like to get to the point of being able to pull the same weights from the straight portion of that bar, if not from a true deficit, that I can currently handle.
Hopefully, I'll be able to get back to it, having given my shoulder another week off, a brutal massage on Sunday, and a sneeze-while-moving-just-so realignment event. Because, while it's nice to slack off, it's not me.
