Vex it sounds like your analysis is right on. Check out what RB has been offering
for years now. Looks almost like what your describing.

They describe it here:

The description talks about heat transfer being improved due to the grooves but
I wonder if thats some purposeful FUD and the real solution is along the lines
that your describing. It would all depend on exactly what they groove and
where I guess.

This is a great thread by the way.
