I take this back. I *do* see how your suggestion could fit into this model.
Predication takes a number of forms, of which "predicate nominative" and
"nominative of apposition" are two examples. No problem at all fitting this
into the traditional model.
The following quibble isn't really a problem with your suggestion.

Thanks again for the help, Randy. Much appreciated.
